About this plugin
Brightery Secure 2FA adds a strong second login step for WordPress accounts while staying lightweight in runtime.
Features:
- Authenticator app (TOTP) support.
- Passkeys / WebAuthn support for Touch ID, Face ID, Windows Hello, fingerprint readers, and device PIN.
- Role-based enforcement: require selected user groups to enroll.
- Forced enrollment page to block protected users until they configure security.
- Backup codes.
- Encrypted TOTP secret storage using WordPress salts.
- Login throttling for repeated primary-login and second-factor failures.
- Lightweight audit logs stored inside WordPress options.
- Email alerts for enrollment changes and lockouts.
- Trusted devices so users can skip 2FA on approved browsers for a limited period.
- CSV export for security logs.
- Advanced log filters and search.
- Custom labels for trusted devices and passkeys.
- Optional revocation of other sessions after security changes.
- Optional blocking of WordPress application passwords for protected / 2FA-enabled users.
- Lightweight runtime: the plugin mostly runs on login, profile, AJAX, settings pages, WooCommerce account pages, and authenticated REST requests.
Important Notes
- HTTPS is required for passkeys in production.
- This build is optimized for normal interactive WordPress logins and admin access enforcement.
- Passkey attestation trust-chain validation is intentionally not enforced in order to remain lightweight and dependency-free.
The plugin still validates challenge, origin, RP ID hash, user presence, optional user verification, signature, and signature counter.
- This lightweight build supports ES256 passkeys.
- TOTP setup includes a local QR-code renderer so the setup secret stays on your own WordPress site during enrollment.
- The plugin stores account-security data such as trusted-device records, passkey metadata, security logs, and a limited recent login-context history.
- A privacy-policy suggestion plus WordPress personal-data exporter and eraser integrations are included.
- There are no non-GPL third-party runtime libraries bundled with this plugin;
the distributed JavaScript and CSS files are included as human-readable source.
Security Model
- TOTP secrets are encrypted before storing in user meta.
- Backup codes are stored hashed.
- Passkeys verify origin, RP ID hash, challenge, signature, and signature counter.
- Rate limiting helps slow repeated login and 2FA guessing attempts.
- The plugin can require passkey user verification for biometric/PIN-backed sign-in.
Privacy
Brightery Secure 2FA stores security-related account data so it can protect logins and help administrators investigate suspicious access.
The plugin adds suggested privacy-policy text to WordPress and registers personal-data exporter/eraser callbacks for the data it stores.
Source Code and Licensing
- All distributed plugin PHP, JS, and CSS files are included as human-readable source.
- The local QR renderer is bundled directly in assets/js/bs2fa-qr.js as readable source code.
- No non-GPL runtime libraries are required for normal plugin operation.
