Creating a Shield user session when using Authy

    Hi there,

    I’ve recently set up Authy on a WordPress install. It works fine.. and Shield works fine.. but they both don’t work fine together ??

    After successfully authenticating with Authy on login, I get sent back to the login screen with an error saying a “Shield user session does not exist”. Logging in again goes through the Authy login process successfully again, but then returns back to the login page again with the same error.

    Authy is a 2-factor authentication service that basically replaces Google’s Authenticator app, among other things. Their WordPress plugin is here: https://en-au.www.ads-software.com/plugins/authy-two-factor-authentication/

    Is it possible to add support for navigating the Authy login flow into Shield? I’d love to be able to use both plugins. ??

    I haven’t dug into the Authy code, but my guess is that they’re not calling, or properly calling, the WordPress action wp_login. If this hook is fired, then the User sessions system for Shield will get triggered correctly.

    It’s a standard WordPress login hook which should be fired.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Paul, appreciate that. I’ll check their code and get in touch with them then.

    For anyone else coming across this, the Authy plugin doesn’t appear to be calling the wp_login action; I’ve posted in their support forum too.
