Overview
Authorizer is a WordPress plugin designed to restrict site access to specific users, such as students enrolled in university courses. It allows administrators to maintain a customizable list of approved users and replaces the default WordPress login system with an external server-based authentication using platforms like Google, CAS, LDAP, or an OAuth2 provider. In addition, Authorizer safeguards user accounts by limiting invalid login attempts to thwart bots. The plugin offers versatile authentication options, including WordPress, Google, CAS, LDAP, and OAuth2 accounts, and provides customizable login and view access settings. For enhanced accessibility, it also features the [authorizer_login_form] shortcode to embed a login form outside the default wp-login.php. The plugin's source code is available for viewing and contributions on GitHub.

I’m using Authorizer on WP Multisite, it works very well. I use Google Cloud > API’s & Services > Credentials for 2 factor authentication.
Note: if you get authentication errors try clearing your cache

I’m missing the option to restrict the authentication to external services. This plugin currently creates too much effort when users have left the company.
Besides of that the plugin seems to do a good job.
