So what you are saying is that the iTSec Pro plugin main selling point (Two-factor Authentication) has been using the static Google Image Charts service that was deprecated since 2012 …
Basically the Two-factor Authentication feature could break any moment … and it’s going to break as Google announced the service is scheduled to be turned off on March 14th. 8 days to go and the clock is ticking …
Anyway according to Google’s announcement (on Feb 9):
There is no effective way to identify or contact users of the service other than this group, so to alert them we will be creating outages: first a short one, and then a longer one.
The short outage will be for an hour on Wednesday, February 13, at approximately 1pm Eastern Standard Time.
The long outage will be for several hours on Tuesday, March 5, at approximately 10am Eastern Standard Time.
Today iThemes made the iTSec Pro 5.9.3 release available which replaces the Google QR Code API with an iThemes Security hosted solution. Updating before March 14th is highly recommended.
To prevent any confusion, I’m not iThemes.
