Easy Secure Login enhances your site’s security by integrating two powerful Google authentication methods: Google Sign-In and Google One Tap. It can optionally replace the standard WordPress password system entirely, offering a modern, passwordless login experience.
Born out of necessity after a real-world brute-force attack, this plugin was designed with the option to enforce a Google-only login policy, ensuring that only verified Google accounts can access your site. It combines robust, Google-powered security with a beautiful user interface, automatic user management, and a step-by-step setup wizard.
