2FA security for WordPress

Comentarios: To increase security, one necessary item in today's world is 2FA. If your email gets compromised, or you decide to use some lame password that's the same password on each site instead of using LastPass or another password manager, then you're most likely going to get hacked at some point. MiniOrange adds 2FA to the mix so even if an attacker knows your username and password, they must also have access to your phone in order to gain access to your account.

Puntos a favor:

WordPress doesn't come with 2FA, but Mini Orange fixes that problem.

Contras:

I can't think of anything. Everything seems to work just fine.

Everything works great

Comentarios: We needed to setup 2fa for existing VPN soluiton. MIniOrange already had an existing solution. Setup and administration via web portal was very easy, our existing device had no problem talking to MiniOrange server and the price is very reasonable.

Puntos a favor:

It was simple to setup, I was able to test everything within 2 days

Contras:

Nothing bad to report, everything works as expected

Predatory licensing and product descriptions

Puntos a favor:

Their marketing glossies are great, strong home page and good reviews with multiple blog posts singing their praises... but it's not the average customer experience. Often they write comments to articles themselves about how great they are and the Wordpress plugin ratings all have the same verbiage: the average customer experience is hoping for a better product than they'll ever receive and their customer support goes dark when you call them on it.

Contras:

I'd give zero stars if I could! I assumed good faith but after a few emails with screenshots of their own licensing agreements it became clear that their licensing and descriptions are deceptive, they know their product doesn't work right at the free tier and when you call them on it they'll insist you misinterpreted the licensing and tell you to give them money, or they'll walk away from the conversation and won't talk to you anymore. miniOrange products' agreements and licensing look polished, but they're only there to hook you in and when the product doesn't work, they tell you to upgrade the licensing tier and when you do it and expect it to work, it doesn't. Don't fall for it, there are a thousand other plugins that both work AND are actually free but have strong customer support.

Very User Friendly SSO & Auth Solutions with Excellent Customer Support

Comentarios: Excellent. We SSO into multiple applications. And use miniOrange as the IDP for Azure AD

Puntos a favor:

Very easy to setup. Click configuration. Amazing range of pre built integrations. Great customer support

Contras:

I like all the features of this app. Perhaps the auth reports could be more detailed

Easy-to-Use, Configure & Integrate

Comentarios: With MiniOrange I was able to quickly and easily resolve the challenge of a MFA server. I end up saving money by using a service I trust over spinning up my own instance and having to manage it. MiniOrange does the "heavy lifting" and I appreciate it.

Puntos a favor:

I love the ease of use and intuitive nature of the product I use. I can easily take users in and out of the configuration without complicated steps. Once setup, this has been a huge help to the company for years, with literally no downtime and a response back from support every time I write.

Contras:

I do not like the fact I cannot control the branding name. I would love to be able to configure the name the Google Authenticator uses and make that a brand for the company. I would love to see that functionality in future builds.
