## Description

The [Authentiq](https://www.authentiq.com/) plugin allows users to simply use their
phone to authenticate to your WordPress site, share their identity details safely,
and sign out again remotely.

This plugin is for admins that are interested in moving beyond username and password,
and do not want to burden their users with typing one time codes from SMS or authenticators
or other methods that harm the user experience.

The [Authentiq](https://www.authentiq.com/) service is free (for most use cases)
and does not store any user data centrally, but in the Authentiq ID app on the user’s
phone instead.

Features:

 * Use Authentiq as a convenience sign in (and sign up) method, or as a secure sign
   in method.
 * In the latter case, replacing one time passwords (TOTP) or hardware tokens, option
   to still accept accounts with classic username & password.
 * On every sign in, the profile information is explicitly shared by the Authentiq
   ID app and updated in the WordPress profile, thus keeping it up to date on every
   sign in.
 * Visitors to your site that already have the Authentiq ID app installed can simply
   sign up by scanning a QR code or typing their email address and confirm on their
   phone.
 * Block users by (verified) email domain, or limit to specific domains.
 * Optionally request social accounts, address, and (verified) phone numbers too.
 * Remote sign out: your users can sign out with their Authentiq ID app, even when
   they left their session signed in on another computer.
 * Existing users can activate Authentiq in their profile page for convenience or
   additional security.

You can check our [demo site](https://wordpress.demos.authentiq.io/).

#### Widget

You can have an Authentiq sign in button in any widgetized area / sidebar:

 1. Go to ‚WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets’.
 2. Drag and drop the „Authentiq” widget into any widgetized area / sidebar.
 3. Configure settings on the widget and click save.

Place and configure as many Authentiq widgets as you want.

#### Shortcodes

The plugin can be placed anywhere in your site using WordPress shortcodes.

The shortcode is `[authentiq_login_button]`.

Additionally you can set some extra parameters, which are:

 * **sign_in_text**: Text shown in Authentiq button, when user **is not** signed
   in, in order to sign in.
 * **linking_text**: Text shown in Authentiq button, when user **is** signed in,
   but is not linked with Authentiq yet, in order to link the user account.
 * **sign_out_text**: Text shown in Authentiq button, when user **is** signed in
   and linked with Authentiq, in order to sign out.
 * **color_scheme**: Authentiq button color scheme. Use a number from 0: default,
   1: purple, 2: orange, 3: grey, 4: white.

Example use: `[authentiq_login_button sign_in_text="Login" linking_text="Link your
account" sign_out_text="Logout" color_scheme=1]`.

You can even place the [shortcode in your template files](http://docs.getshortcodes.com/article/52-using-of-shortcodes-in-template-files).

## Installation

#### Automatic installation

Log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.

In the search field type ‚Authentiq’ and click Search Plugins, once you find it,
you can install it by simply clicking ‚Install Now’.

#### Manual installation

The manual installation method involves downloading the Authentiq plugin and uploading
it to your webserver via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains
[instructions on how to do this here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Managing_Plugins#Manual_Plugin_Installation).

## FAQ

  How a user can link her account with Authentiq

There are two flows for this.

 1. She signs in using the Authentiq ID App, using the same email as her current WordPress
    user.
 2. She signs in at the site using WordPress Username & Password, and then links her
    account with Authentiq, either using a widget or shortcode button, or by visiting
    her profile.

  How can I see extra user info send by Authentiq ID

You can simply visit the user’s profile page.

  If I disable WordPress Username & Password, how a user can get back access if 
lost?

When this happens, the WordPress site admin visits the user profile from the WordPress
Dashboard, and click the „unlink” button in the Authentiq section.

  Is WooCommerce supported?

Yes, WooCommerce checkout and account pages are supported. In case „Address” and„
Phone number” have been opted-in in Authentiq plugin settings page, they will be
pre-filled for the user during checkout.

  What if I am already using „WordPress Social Login” (WSL) plugin, for Authentiq

Simply disable Authentiq within the WSL plugin (or the WSL plugin as a whole). Make
sure you configure the redirect url correctly and add a backchannel redirect url
in the Authentiq dashboard as prompted in the plugins page. Your users will be able
to sign in with Authentiq right away.

### 󠀁[2FA on steroids](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/2fa-on-steroids/)󠁿

 [Pascal Dreissen](https://profiles.wordpress.org/pdreissen/) 30 paździyrnika 2017

If you are searching for a 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) plugin for your WordPress
installations, or still looking to replace Clef or other super inconvenient 2FA 
plugins. Stop searching any further this is the best replacement you will find. 
Supports WooCommerce checkout logins as well (which can request all the necessary
from your authentiq profile, like address / telephone etc.). For extra security 
you can force users which are using Authentiq successful on your site by not allowing
the traditional login anymore.
