 * Hi Chad,
 * Like this, nice plugin
 * Quick question if I may :
 * I want to uses to verify each time they login i.e. like PayPal authentication
   via SMS with pin number
 * The private area will have info which is not for general consumption/viewing
 * Is this possible?
 * I’m looking to ensure that only members have the ability to login and not fake
   accounts : 1) Email Address verification, password and also sms pin and also 
   set a cookie to block others out i.e. sharing details
 * Regards,
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-members/)

 * I’m sure an SMS process could be worked in, although I have not tried it. There
   is a filter that allows you to [add to the login form for additional authentication](http://rocketgeek.com/plugins/wp-members/docs/filter-hooks/wpmem_login_form_rows/)(
   which you would also need to add using WP’s `wp_authenticate_user` filter to 
   validate).
 * Email can be validated a number of ways. The plugin’s default configuration emails
   the user their initial password (which they can change). If they do not provide
   a valid password, they won’t receive login credentials.
 * There is also a tutorial and code snippets on the premium support site that describes
   [how to set up an activation link via email](http://rocketgeek.com/filter-hooks/send-new-user-an-activation-link-in-the-new-registration-email/).
