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. When that policy is enabled, Google authentication is restricted to verified accounts allowed by your user settings. It combines layered, Google-powered authentication safeguards with a modern interface, automatic user management, and a step-by-step setup wizard.

Key Features

Optional Passwordless Security: Ability to completely disable standard password logins, forcing all users to authenticate via Google’s secure OAuth 2.0.
Role-Based Redirects: Define custom landing pages for different user roles. Redirect subscribers to your homepage or a custom dashboard while keeping admins in wp-admin.
Google Sign-In Button: A clean, modern “Continue with Google” button on the default login page or any custom login page through a shortcode.
WooCommerce and Custom Login Pages: Add [easy_secure_login] to page content, a shortcode block, or a custom PHP template with echo do_shortcode('[easy_secure_login]');.
Optional One Tap on Custom Pages: Use [easy_secure_login one_tap="yes"] to show the button and request the Google One Tap prompt on a custom login page.
Google One Tap: Allows logged-in Google users to sign in instantly with a single click via a non-intrusive pop-up.
Complete User Management: Whitelist specific Google accounts and assign roles, or allow open registration for any Google user.
Google Profile Picture Sync: Automatically syncs and displays Google profile pictures as user avatars in WordPress.
Built-in Security Hardening:
- Disable XML-RPC to prevent common attacks.
- Disable the plugin and theme file editor.
- Hide your WordPress version number.
- Restrict REST API access to logged-in users.
- Block direct access to sensitive core files.
User-Friendly Setup Wizard: A clean, multi-step guide to get your Google Cloud credentials configured in minutes.

External services

This plugin uses Google’s Identity Services to provide a secure authentication method (Google Sign-In and Google One Tap). To function, it connects to several Google APIs.

Service: Google Identity Services (accounts.google.com)
Purpose: This service is used to display the “Sign in with Google” button and the Google One Tap prompt. It handles the user authentication process directly in the user’s browser.
Data Sent: This plugin initiates the authentication flow, but user data (like email and password) is entered directly on Google’s domain, not through this plugin. The plugin only receives a secure authentication token from Google after a successful login.
Terms and Policies:
- Google Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
- Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Service: Google OAuth & People APIs (oauth2.googleapis.com, www.googleapis.com)
Purpose: After a user authenticates, the plugin’s server sends the received authentication token/code to these Google APIs to verify its authenticity and retrieve basic user profile information (email, name, profile picture).
Data Sent: An authentication token/code provided by Google is sent from your server to Google’s servers for validation.
