Email OTP Authenticator – Login, Register, 2FA & Session Lock

Email OTP Authenticator is a lightweight authentication plugin for WordPress that combines passwordless login, quick registration, optional 2FA and session protection into one flexible solution.

Built using independent security layers instead of a monolithic system, the plugin loads only the required components during use to keep runtime execution compact and avoid external service dependency.

Delivering these key benefits:

• Reduce login friction
• Increase signup conversions
• Reduce password reset requests
• Strengthen multi-layered website security
• Enhance user trust with secure authentication

Designed to make WordPress authentication faster, smarter and more secure.

Lightweight By Design

Built to stay lightweight.

• Admin PHP Runtime: ~564 KB
• Frontend Browser Load: ~68 KB
• Frontend PHP Runtime: ~274 KB
