    Sometimes users need to login to my website from an external app/game, and if the account has 2FA with your plugin there’s no way to do so as there’s no support for rest apis.

    PLEASE add one. I believe I requested this before but got no response. I’ll change plugins and leave a 1 star review if ignored/declined again.

    Hello @peq42

    Thank you for posting on these forums and for trying our plugin.

    In regards to 2FA on REST API, we generally recommend using Application Passwords — these are supported in WordPress core and provide a secure, standard way for authenticating API requests, even when 2FA is enabled. This is a widely adopted approach, even used and recommended by the likes of Facebook and Google, for example when configuring apps on your smarthphone.

    The reason is that support for a 2FA challenge in a REST API call typically needs to be implemented natively within the app making the request. So unfortunately, there isn’t really a “universal solution” for this kind of setup.

    Could you share a bit more about your use case, and if there’s a specific reason why Application Passwords aren’t suitable in your case?

    Also, if you’ve reached out before and didn’t get a response, we truly apologize. We do our best to reply to every message and rarely miss one, but unfortunately, sometimes it still happens.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
