Overview

The Duo Security plugin for WordPress provides robust two-factor authentication (2FA) to safeguard your website against account takeovers and data breaches. By integrating Duo 2FA, your WordPress accounts gain an additional layer of security beyond passwords, which can often be compromised through phishing or guessing. This plugin is user-friendly and straightforward to set up; you simply register for Duo’s service and install the plugin on your site. It offers flexibility in choosing which user roles (such as admins, editors, authors, contributors, and subscribers) will require 2FA, with no need for extra hardware or complicated configurations. Users can authenticate through multiple methods, including Duo's mobile app for one-tap authentication or one-time passcodes, SMS passcodes, phone callbacks, or OATH-compliant hardware tokens. With Duo, enhancing your WordPress site's security is quick, efficient, and comprehensive.

This used to be an awesome plugin. It offered seamless integration with Duo, blocking admin access to my site in the case of a password compromise or brute force attack. Sadly, it recently just stopped working. No Duo verification page, no errors in the logs; and the only way to get back into my site was ssh in and delete the plugin. Duo has apparently given up on the plugin, according to their github repo.They should just pull this plugin from listings.

Best 2FA addon for WordPress – if it wasn’t so neglected. No updates for half a year, no PHP 8. Too bad. Could have been so great. Now it’s out. This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by sotte. Reason: Correction

I use Duo Security for many different apps and it works great. The negative reviews typically mean the person is not familiar with how to implement Duo Security correctly.

The configuration and integration was super easy and I am using this for my Office 365 and VPN access as well. It’s great to be able to use a single MFA for multiple application.
