20264 releases

  1. Two Factor (2FA) Authentication via Email 1.9.12Latest

    • Fix: Dismissing admin notices now always saves, even if they’re closed before the page finishes loading
    • Fix: The Unicorn Panel logo is now bundled with the plugin instead of loaded from an external site
  2. Two Factor (2FA) Authentication via Email 1.9.11

    • Fix: Login link tokens are now hex-encoded so firewalls/WAFs no longer mistakenly flag them as malicious and block the login link. Existing links remain valid until they expire.
    • Fix: Miscellaneous Plugin Check fixes.
  3. Two Factor (2FA) Authentication via Email 1.9.10

    • Security hardening. Please update ASAP.
    • New: XML-RPC logins are now blocked for accounts that have the “2FA for REST API” option enabled (matching the existing REST API behaviour). Accounts that have never set that option are unaffected.
    • New: The standard wp_login action now fires when a user completes 2FA via the email link, so integrations that rely on it (last-login trackers, login-alert emails, activity logs) work correctly.
    • Added child theme support for custom templates. ss88-2fa/login-email.php and ss88-2fa/2fa-page.php are now loaded from the child theme first, then the parent theme. Thanks @gstricklind!
    • Added filters SS88_2FAVE_email_template and SS88_2FAVE_page_template so developers can load the templates from any location.
    • Fix: The custom email template could fail to load if more than one 2FA email was sent in the same request.
    • Compatibility: Tested up to WordPress 7.1.
  4. Two Factor (2FA) Authentication via Email 1.9.9

    • Please update ASAP. Security Fix: CVE-2025-13587
    • Removal of logo on 2FA Login Screen
