    I’ve been trying out the security firewall features as a potential replacement to my current WordPress firewall. One thing I noticed is that MFA uses email. Are there plans to allow the use the more secure method of an authenticator app for MFA?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    Hello, Rob.

    Could you tell us what improvements do you want to see in the CleanTalk plugin?

    Perhaps any examples?

    A good example is the Wordfence implementation of MFA. They have you set up the authenticator app using the QR scan (typical auth app implementation). Then, instead of emailing a code, they prompt for you to enter the MFA code verifying it with the backend provider. This is a truly secure MFA versus email or SMS.

    Does this help?

    Hi @ip-rob,

    Thanks for the suggestion and feedback!

    We are going to implement Google authentication as second way for 2FA. It may takes 4-5 weeks, we will let you know as finish.

    Hi @ip-rob,

    I am sorry for delay with letting you know.

    We have released 2FA through Google Authenticator a few weeks ago,

    Let me know if you have any questions.
