FluentAuth comparison with other security plugins
Hi. I went ahead and made an article/tutorial here: https://easywebdesigntutorials.com/fluentauth-vs-top-wordpress-security-plugins/
Btw someone really should go through the support forum for the plugin here: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/fluent-security/
It is a really nice article and comparison.
Thanks for sharing!
ps. I am not sure if these plugins can be called as "real security" (partiall only if well maintained and maybe 2nd/3rd line of defence) especially when they can be disabled/obmitted in some specific ways example: by using the recovery mode or via remote url or they can eat up the server resources (shared hosting) causing errors or conflicts etc but still...
ps2. as we all know less "plugins" = more security. In some cases these plugins allowed websites to be compromized in the past.
ps3. WordPress security strategy requires a multi-layered approach (updates, strong and unique passwords, backups, network WAF/firewall, audits etc).
Its easier and better to have real backups than thinking that we are being protected by a security plugin.
Thanks for a good comparison. I know FluentAuth claims to support two-factor authentication, but I beg the differ. Codes sent by email cannot be counted as a second factor since they go to the same addresses as the password reset emails.
Currently "Bug FluentAuth 2.0.2 Breaks Google Login on New Sites using FluentCommunity" is still not Fixe Shahjahan Jewel 😅
Hoang Hxn We have checked the issue. and make sure you have the Auth Shortcode is enabled. Otherwise it will not work.
