Enhance WordPress Security with Google Authenticator

The Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress provides a robust two-factor authentication solution, integrating seamlessly with the Google Authenticator app available on various smartphones. Designed for users who prioritize security, this plugin allows two-factor authentication to be enabled on a per-user basis, ensuring that administrators can maintain higher security while allowing less privileged accounts to log in without this additional step. Users familiar with Google Authenticator will find the setup straightforward, as it mirrors the functionality already in use for other services like Gmail and Dropbox.

In addition to standard two-factor authentication, the plugin offers an App password feature, which can be useful for maintaining blog accessibility via mobile apps or software utilizing the XMLRPC interface. However, users should be aware that enabling this feature may compromise the blog's security. Overall, the Google Authenticator plugin is a valuable addition for WordPress users seeking enhanced security measures.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
