The plugin only works using HTTPS! #### Properties * File is not downloaded or stored physically on the site. * The plugin does not create additional security risks. * Plugin code does not create additional load on the site. * Intuitive interface. * Provides the maximum level of protection against brute force attacks. Even if a hacker has access to your computer, it will be extremely difficult for him to guess which file is the key. * Any file can be used as a key, for example: photo, video, text document, song, operating system system file, whatever… * File size up to 1 GB. * Limit Login Attempts. * Disable XML-RPC. Keep in mind that if you change the contents of the file selected as a key, you will not be able to access the admin area. ## Screenshots * [[ * This is what the login page will look like * [[ * This is how the section in the profile settings will look like * [[ * 2FA Settings page ## FAQ ### Where are the settings? Settings are located in the edit section of your profile ### What should I do if I have lost my key file? If you are not an administrator. Ask your site administrator to turn off two-factor authentication for your profile. After that, you will be able to log in using only your login and password, and then select a new file. If you are administrator. * Go to your website database. * Find usermeta table.* Find the row where ‘user_id’ = your user ID, and ‘meta_key’ = ‘senpai_software_2fa_status’.* Change the value of the ‘meta_value’ field to ‘disable’. * Now you can use only login and password, and then choose a new key file. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8d8af74310a0663c08fad0629c91406ab930165b5c924b7c5031a307fbe2a0e0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Invalid key with no reason – access blocked – UPDATED](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-key-with-no-reason-access-blocked/)󠁿 [bluelee22](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bluelee22/) 18 abril 2023 1 reply All was good until I got with no reason the Invalid Key error message. I manage many websites and it was really painful to fix this error through all the websites. I have not changed the file nor open it, so I really don’t understand what I got this error message. This was exactly why I wanted to try this plugin because it different from the others WP2FA. I will update my review if this problem is fixed in the next update. Update: As promised I updated my review and gave you 5 stars. I hope this bug will not occur in the future. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c12bebecf9d462ec843f0b994ed8b429857034e00ded7cc5254f48068f480552? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great solution](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-solution-244/)󠁿 [alexrazor777](https://profiles.wordpress.org/alexrazor777/) 5 abril 2023 1 reply Good alternative to captcha ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6505d5d38c67133c2d2f8513723b52a0ca257cb5f20769006da8802de2083d10? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Действительно удобный плагин](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/%d0%b4%d0%b5%d0%b9%d1%81%d1%82%d0%b2%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%bb%d1%8c%d0%bd%d0%be-%d1%83%d0%b4%d0%be%d0%b1%d0%bd%d1%8b%d0%b9-%d0%bf%d0%bb%d0%b0%d0%b3%d0%b8%d0%bd/)󠁿 [Victoribus](https://profiles.wordpress.org/victoribus/) 23 març 2023 1 reply Обычно двуфакторка всегда напрягает потому что не удобно.
