Description

With this plugin you can make passwords a thing of the past. All you need is your trusty smartphone with a QR Code reading app.

(Coming soon, iOS companion app that will negate your need for a separate QR Code reading app!)

Disclaimer: A website is only as secure as the least secure component on it. This plugin aims to be more secure than using the default login page.

Screenshots

This is how your login page will look all pimped out with it’s QR code.

Installation

Upload plugin to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
That’s it

Usage

Scan QR code on login screen of your site. (Coming soon, iOS companion app!)
Open link scanned in your mobile browser.
That’s it! (If you don’t have a cookie on your mobile browser recognizing you, the first time you try this you’ll have to log in on your phone. After that you should be home free)

FAQ

Why do I need to log in on my phone?: You wouldn’t want just ANYONE being able to access your site. Verification is still necessary.
So what’s this plugin good for?: Once you log in once, you won’t have to again until your phone cookie runs out (every two weeks or so). That should save you SOME hassle.
What about foo bar?: I have no answer to foo bar dilemma.

On Wordpress 6.1.1 this app installs, and then the QR code shows at the login screen. Trying to scan it sends me off a Kafka cliff…

Ottimo plugin per eseguire l’accesso senza dover installare app sul cellulare. Inquadri il QrCode, fai il login sul cellulare ed autorizzi l’accesso per l’altro dispositivo!

Great idea and it works just amazing. Quick and fast login with your mobile. Only support for translations are missing.
