 * What are your thoughts on adding Clef Two Factor Auth with NinjaFirewall? Is 
   it overkill?
 * Thanks.

 * Hi,
 * Since the main purpose of NinjaFirewall protection is to work before WordPress
   is loaded, I don’t think it will be suitable. It could of course be implemented
   at the plugin level, but it seems there are already plugins doing that.

 * You cannot implement it at the firewall level, because it is loaded before WP.
   It does not even know what WP is.
    It could be added to the plugin which is used
   to configure the firewall from your admin dashboard.

 * I’m sorry, I still don’t understand your answer. Clef has a WP plugin and it 
   works or replaces the wp-login area with their software.

 * Sorry for the misunderstanding.
    The login protection code is in the firewall
   part of NinjaFirewall, and it is triggered at the earliest stage (even before
   the firewall loads its own configuration). If we wanted to implement a 2 factor
   authentication, it could only be done at the plugin level, not the firewall level.
   But because there is already a Clef plugin, our code would not bring any improvement,
   it would be 100% identical to their plugin.

 * No worries. 🙂

 * So are you saying, it’s ok to use both? Since Clef is already built, I can use
   both NinjaFirewall and Clef plugin together?

 * I did not try it, but I think you can use both.
    NinjaFirewall protects access
   to the wp-login.php script. It does not check how you authenticate yourself. 
   If you see a problem while using both, just report it here and I’ll have a look.
