Secure Login with TraitWare

The TraitWare plugin combined with its mobile app provides a simple, secure login to the WordPress Dashboard and Protected Resources via web browsers by replacing usernames/passwords with a QR scan. Using the TraitWare mobile app, role-based Multi-Factor (2FA) Authentication provides an extra layer of security to your sign in process. To take full advantage of this feature, a simple setting has been added to disable the username and password fields!

Site administrators can set up the plugin to protect wp-admin/Dashboard logins, Custom page/site user logins, pages, and resources within a page. They can also allow for user to self-register with TraitWare to access resources or their page. Site logins can be accessed with the scan of one QR here.

TraitWare is a premiere multi-factor authentication platform that never needs a password or a password manager. With our QR web browser login solution, we can also eliminate the need for a username. Not only is our software convenient and easy to use, but it virtually eliminates vulnerabilities associated with traditional username and password logins in the web browser.

How Secure is TraitWare Authentication?
TraitWare uses Multi-Factor Authentication to secure each individual client’s browser login to WordPress. The factors that it utilizes for securing each user’s identity are 1) each user’s mobile device equipped with the TraitWare Mobile App, 2) the cloud-hosted TraitWare Authentication Server, 3) something you are or know. While TraitWare’s authentication is incredibly effective against malicious attacks and identity theft in a browser, site admins and their users should still use best practices. This means disabling username and password options and making sure ftp, sftp, and MySQL logins are complex.
