Show HN: AuthPress – Advanced WordPress 2FA Plugin

I've been working on AuthPress, a comprehensive two-factor authentication plugin for WordPress that started as a simple Telegram-based 2FA solution and has evolved into a flexible multi-provider authentication system.

  What makes AuthPress different:

  • Multiple Auth Providers: Telegram, Email, TOTP (Google Authenticator, Authy, etc.), Recovery codes, plus extensible support for SMS, Passkeys, and custom implementations

  • Developer-Friendly Architecture: Clean API for creating custom 2FA providers - you can integrate with any authentication service (Twilio SMS, Push notifications, Hardware tokens, etc.)

  • Professional Admin Interface: Comprehensive logging, user management, and monitoring tools built with WordPress best practices

  • Security-First: Rate limiting, encrypted storage, activity monitoring, and protection against brute force attacks

  The Journey:
  Started as a Telegram-only plugin (because who doesn't want 2FA codes via Telegram bot?), but realized the WordPress ecosystem needed something more flexible. Instead of just adding more providers, I built an extensible system
  where developers can create their own 2FA methods as separate plugins.

  Technical Highlights:
  - WordPress 5.0+ compatibility
  - Database-backed (moved away from WordPress options for performance)
  - Proper internationalization
  - Uses WordPress standards (hooks, filters, WP_List_Table)
  - Clean separation between core and providers

  The plugin is GPL-licensed and available on WordPress.org. Perfect for anyone securing WordPress sites or developers wanting to build custom 2FA solutions.

  Would love feedback from the community, especially on the extensibility aspects and any custom providers you'd like to see!
