Update 4.1.0
Release date: 21st July 2026
More control over zero-setup 2FA
This update introduces a new option that allows administrators to customize how long one-time passwords (OTPs) remain valid when using zero-setup two-factor authentication. This gives you greater flexibility to balance security and usability based on your organization’s requirements.
Improved reliability and user experience
We’ve made several improvements throughout the plugin to make managing and using two-factor authentication (2FA) even smoother.
Email delivery guidance and test email messages have been improved with clearer troubleshooting information, making it easier to diagnose and resolve email delivery issues. We have also refined several areas of the user interface, improved validation messages, and made a number of usability enhancements to the passkeys and white labeling settings.
Security updates
This update includes a security fix to an issue reported by Jakub Herman, and also several other general security improvements and fixes that make the plugin more stable and secure.
Update 4.0.0
Release date: 7th July 2026
A completely redesigned User interface (UI)
WP 2FA 4.0 introduces a completely redesigned user interface with a modern look and feel, improved navigation, and a more streamlined setup experience. Settings have been reorganized to make them easier to find, helping administrators configure and manage two-factor authentication more efficiently.
For existing installations, upgrading to the new interface is optional and can be done at any time from the plugin settings. Please note that once you switch to the new interface, the change cannot be reverted.
Other noteworthy changes
This release also includes two important changes. Settings export files created with versions earlier than 4.0 are not compatible with this latest update. Therefore, they should be recreated using version 4.0.
In addition, email template customization is now available as an Enterprise feature. Existing customized email templates will continue to work without interruption.
Major plugin performance and stability improvements
On top of the above changes in this release, the plugin also includes a good number of performance, stability, and scalability improvements, making it more reliable than ever. We’ve also fixed a long list of issues. Please refer to the changelog for more information.
