Overview
The "WordPress REST API Authentication" plugin is designed to secure WordPress REST API endpoints against unauthorized access by implementing various industry-standard authentication methods. These include API Key Authentication, JWT (JSON Web Token) Authentication, Basic Authentication, OAuth 2.0 Authentication, and third-party provider token authentications such as Firebase, Azure AD, and AWS Cognito. The plugin ensures that only authenticated users can access sensitive endpoints like WordPress Login, Register, and custom REST APIs from third-party plugins such as WooCommerce, Learndash, and Gravity Forms. Additionally, it supports integration with mobile and desktop applications, facilitates custom REST API development, and offers comprehensive features in both free and premium plans for enhanced security, including user-specific and time-based access tokens and the ability to disable public API access. This robust security solution allows for secure data exchange while providing an easy-to-configure user interface.

I’ve been utilizing the premium version and encountered a technical hiccup, but Vidushi Gupta from support swiftly resolved it. Despite multiple Google Meet sessions, she remained composed and guided me through the solution. I’m hopeful that my feature request will be considered for inclusion in the upcoming release.

I use the free version of the plugin to protect and authorize my site’s REST API. It’s a great plugin and I’m completely satisfied with it. Recently I had a technical issue and Sharshdeep Saluja from support solved it the very next day. Wow, I didn’t expect such a fast response! Great job, thank you very much!
