Dual Authentication Options

    Dear Support Team,

    We have been using the IP Login Plugin for our WordPress website and find it to be a valuable addition to our security measures. However, we have identified a need for an enhancement that would greatly benefit our users and their specific needs.

    Currently, the IP Login Plugin allows users to log in automatically when accessing our website from their designated IP addresses specifically from institutions. However, we have also noticed that some of our users, visiting our website from their institution would prefer to have the option of using the traditional username-password login method.

    Many users visiting the website may need to access under their personal accounts for specific purposes, such as placing orders using WooCommerce. Offering both IP-based authentication and traditional login options will ensure that all our users can interact with our website comfortably and securely.

    Our request is straightforward: we kindly ask for an enhancement to the IP Login Plugin that provides users with the option to choose between automatic IP-based authentication and the traditional username and password method when logging in. This dual authentication approach would grant our users the flexibility to select the method that best suits their needs.

    By implementing this feature, we believe we can offer a more user-friendly experience for our diverse user base and improve overall satisfaction. It would also serve as a safeguard in cases where automatic authentication is not feasible for all users coming from a specific institution.

    We appreciate the great work you have done with the IP Login Plugin thus far, and we hope that this feature enhancement can be considered for future updates.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for suggesting this useful feature.

    We can add a Setting in IP Based Login admin page where you can choose to allow automated login or let the user choose if they want to login.

    If auto login is enabled (which will be the default state) the login will work as it works now.

    If the auto login is disabled then user will see a floating “Auto Login” button in the header which they can click if they wish to auto login to the site. If they do not select that option the plugin will not perform the login.

    Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

    Hi,

    That would be great!

    What about putting the auto-login option on the WordPress standard login page (with an editable label) instead of a floating “Auto Login” button?

    Sure will make it that way.

    @msamavi I thought over this a lot and unfortunately I have decided that I will not be able to include this feature in the IP Based Login plugin as it does not align with the basic feature that the plugin does i.e. auto logs you in.

    However it doesn’t mean it cannot be done. I can make this as a custom plugin for you so you can use it. You can email me at [email protected] for more details on this.

    Thank you!
