The opt-in is presented on first use and can be changed at any time under **Authica Account**. Collected data may include: WordPress/site version, language, plugin/theme list and versions, admin email (for license/updates), and anonymized site URL. **No personal content or passwords are collected.** Data is processed by our licensing/telemetry provider and by us for support and update delivery. • Provider’s Privacy & Terms: https://freemius.com/privacy/ , https://freemius.com/terms/ If you choose not to opt in, only the information required to deliver updates to your site is stored (license/installation ID, if you activate a license). ### Current Features Branding & Design – Upload your own logo – Customize colors, backgrounds, and overlays– Google Fonts – Live preview via WordPress Customizer Security & Protection – Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA integration – Email verification_( Pro)_ – Hide/Rename wp-login.php _(Pro)_ – Redirect Rules User Experience – Custom welcome/error messages – Login & logout redirects – AJAX- powered login form – Mobile-first responsive design ### External services #### Cloudflare Turnstile (human verification) This plugin can integrate with Cloudflare Turnstile to protect login, registration, and password-reset forms from automated abuse. • What is it used for? Turnstile provides a human verification widget to reduce bot signups and credential-stuffing attempts. • What data is sent and when? – On pages where the widget is shown, the Turnstile JavaScript file is loaded from https://challenges.cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/api. js. When loaded, Cloudflare may receive standard browser/connection data (e.g., IP address, user agent, referrer) and evaluate device/browser signals to determine risk, per Cloudflare’s documentation. – When a verification token is produced by the widget, your WordPress site makes a server-to-server request to: https://challenges. cloudflare.com/turnstile/v0/siteverify The server-to-server verification includes the user’s response token and your secret key. When a valid client IP is available, the optional remoteip value may also be sent to Cloudflare to improve verification accuracy. • Where can I learn more? – Cloudflare Turnstile: https://www.cloudflare.com/products/ turnstile/ – Turnstile docs: https://developers.cloudflare.com/turnstile/ – Cloudflare Privacy Policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/ – Cloudflare Terms of Service: https://www.cloudflare.com/terms/ • How do I disable it? Turnstile integrations can be disabled at **Authica Turnstile& Edge Security**, which stops the widget from loading and the verification endpoint from being called. #### jsDelivr (Chart.js fallback, admin-only) For the admin “Captcha Statistics” chart, this plugin prefers a local copy of Chart. js (bundled in `assets/vendor/chart.js/`). If the local file is not present, it falls back to loading Chart.js from: https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js@4.4.3/ dist/chart.umd.min.js • What data is sent? Only the administrator’s browser requests the static script file from the CDN. No user content or personal data is transmitted by this plugin as part of that request. • How do I avoid the CDN? Keep the local file at `assets/vendor/chart.js/chart. umd.min.js` so the fallback is not used. #### Email delivery This plugin uses WordPress `wp_mail()` to send email verification messages. Mail delivery is handled by your hosting provider or any SMTP/email plugin you configure. If you connect a third-party email service (e.g., via an SMTP plugin), that service’s privacy terms apply. This plugin does not send verification data to any email vendor on its own. ### Trademark Authica™ is a trademark claimed by Emil Simunovic. Registration pending.

The developer is very quick to respond to questions and concerns. I do like the interface. ——- This appears to be a good option for login security. I like the straight forward interface and Cloudflare Turnstyle was incredily easy to configure. At this point i only have the single site license but if all goes well I’ll upgrade my license to the 5 site option and implement this on my other sites.
