Description

The Almefy Plugin enables secure 2FA login for your users – without passwords, just by scanning a QR code.​

Welcome to the ALMEFY experience

Almefy enables a secure Two-Factor Authentication user experience in one step. No passwords needed, the users just scan to login.

Your users just need to scan a QR code on your website with the Almefy App and login through our technology built on Identity Based Encryption (IBE).
Almefy is the next generation of logins, taking the burden of secure passwords away from the users by eliminating them completely.
We enable a secure, easy and fast Two-Factor Authentication in one step for the convenience of your users.

Learn more about the Identity Based Encryption and 2FA and Almefy on our website.

The ALMEFY HUB – Where you manage all accesses

We offer an easy to manage setup and management of accesses through our ALMEFY HUB.
The HUB gives you the possibility to setup new websites, manage admins and users and offers statistics for your reference.
It is also the fastest way to get in touch with us in case you have any questions or need support!
And here is how you get started with your ALMEFY Plugin:

Setup

To activate the plugin, please navigate to the Almefy settings in the backend.
You will be required to provide a key and a secret to connect to the Almefy servers.
To generate your individual key & secret, please contact us at https://almefy.com/contact/.
We will send you an email with all instructions how to get access to the ALMEFY HUB where you generate your key & secret in a guided flow through our setup wizard.

In the settings of the plugin you can also define a Redirect to after login url.
Use a relative url like /profile-page to redirect users to a custom page.
Alternatively leave the page blank to redirect users to the WordPress backend.

Login

To add the login code to your website add the [almefy-login] shortcode to your page.
Alternatively you may add it via do_shortcode('[almefy-login]'); to your theme.

If you would like to redirect users to the backend when logging in via the WordPress login at /wp-login.php
but to a profile page when logging in via the the frontend you have to:
– Leave the Redirect to after login empty in the plugin settings
– Set the ‘redirect’ variable on the shortcode

Example: [almefy-login redirect="/profile"]

Device Management

The built in device manager is found in the backend Users -> Profile.
If you do not want your users to have access to the WordPress backend but let them manage their devices,
add the [almefy-devices] shortcode to a custom profile page.

Connecting new devices

When creating an account, users will receive an email asking them to connect their device.
Further devices may be connected in the backend Users -> Profile.

To add management options like connecting and removing devices to the frontend of your website,
you may include the device connection shortcode to a profile page using [almefy-connect].

Password-free Registration (Optional)

You may add password free registration by adding the [almefy-register] shortcode.
Disabling require_username will result in users just being prompted for an email address.
The button text is customizable by setting the button_text variable.

Example: [almefy-register require_username="false" button_text="Sign Up Now!"];

Easy!

Simple to integrate, works immediate after receiving key&secret, simple setup wizard. After provisioning accounts easy use and login with the App on Android (in my case). Its cool, no more keyboard interaction while logging in!

Password-free 2FA – Great idea with “Scan to login

rogerrabbbit 11 November 2022
I was looking for a simple, password-free login. If possible 2FA. I came across Almefy, an interesting concept. You just scan the QR code with their app, and you're in. Very simple - and for 2FA you always need your smartphone anyway. So why not just use the phone. Installation was easy, but I had to request a code. Well, OK - the guys responded quickly, and it's free for private use anyway. All over: Plugin stays in - for now on the test drive, but makes a stable impression and the fast and secure scanning without the password is pretty good. Cheers!
