Not working with login window

Hi, this plugin sounds like just what we need to help prevent users from sharing PWs etc.

We use a theme which implements a ‘popup’ login window. It seems that the popup window uses code similar to this:

$user_signon = wp_signon( $info, false );
if ( is_wp_error($user_signon) ){
   //ECHO ERROR HERE
   } else {
   wp_set_current_user($user_signon->ID); 
   //Continue with login procedure...
}

It seems that by using wp_signon to authenticate the user that the ‘wp_authenticate_user’ hook isn’t applied and as such the ‘validate’ function in your plugin is not being called.

I tried on several machines in several browsers and was able to login as many times as I wanted (settings on plugin are: ‘1’ and ‘block’)

Fix I tried…

Basically, I tried to force the filter to be applied using the following:

$checkuser = get_user_by('email', $form_email);

$possiblesharer = apply_filters( 'wp_authenticate_user', $checkuser, $form_pw );
//
if ( is_wp_error($possiblesharer) ){
   $error_string = $possiblesharer->get_error_message();

   //error message changed in plugin file to make this bit easier
   if($error_string == "TESTMSG") {
   
      echo json_encode(array('loggedin'=>false, 'message'=>esc_html__('You have logged into your account from too many devices, please log out from an existing device.','olam')));
return;

   }

} else {

   echo json_encode(array('loggedin'=>false, 'message'=>esc_html__('Unknown Error... Please try in 5 minutes','olam')));
   return;

}

$user_signon = wp_signon( $info, false );
if ( is_wp_error($user_signon) ){

...
...
...

Hoping you can help to get this up and running ??

Many thanks,
