Our Story

Why This Plugin Exists

Neksio Login & File Security was not created as a marketing idea. It was created after recovering a real production WordPress website that experienced a series of serious security-related issues.

The recovery process highlighted operational gaps in traditional monitoring and inspired a practical security workflow focused on visibility, file integrity, investigation, and recovery.

Every security feature inside the plugin exists because it solves a real operational challenge encountered during this recovery.

01 — Authentication

Two-Factor Authentication

Add an extra layer of security to your WordPress login with TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) authentication. Works with Google Authenticator, Authy, and any compatible authenticator app.

  • TOTP verification with authenticator apps
  • Local QR code generation — no external services
  • Recovery codes for emergency access
💡 Inspired by a real incident

During recovery: Compromised credentials were identified as a primary attack vector. Traditional password protection was not sufficient to prevent unauthorized access. Two-factor authentication was implemented to add a critical security layer that passwords alone could not provide.
