Top Features
Multi-factor Authentication
The second authentication factor needs to be entered only after logging in with a username and password.
World-class login security
Akeeba LoginGuard brings the same workflow and second step verification methods used by the likes of Google, Facebook, Dropbox and GitHub to your Joomla!™-powered site.
Built into Joomla 4
We contributed LoginGuard to the Joomla project. It is now part of Joomla 4.2 and later versions as the Joomla Multi-factor Authentication feature.
Extensive second factor support
From Google Authenticator to YubiKey and from SMS messages to FIDO U2F, Akeeba LoginGuard supports an extensive array of second factors to protect your site's logins.
