Hi,
I am looking for suggestions. What Plugin Sign in do you recommend? Meaning, for example, a person wants to join my forum, they get the WP Admin screen from WP, not captura, just a simple math question. Is there a better sign on way for better security? Also, I thought I had set this up that I would at least have to monitor/approve the first post, but I tried it and it allowed me to make a post.
Any recommendations please would be great 🙂

Update. It looks like in my permissions for Limited Access was set to ByPass first post. So, that was my own fault LOL. I see that on my new profile (for myself as a test user) I am a
New Member
Members
Is what my profile says. My question is now does that member become available to get Standard access? I somehow remember that I had to go into some part of the forum and assign the New Member to a particular access? OK.l figure it how, I automatically ended up in the Member section.
So where I am kind of in a fog is that if I am a Member now, what permissions do I have, does Member =standard access? It seems that you would need to link the two together? Ok figured that out too!.. .It pays to read!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Just need a recommendation of a sign in plugin:?
sign in plugin? beyond standard wp? guess it depends on what you want to do... there are two factor sign ins, captcha, question, moderation, etc... this is for regular logging in right? most of what I mentioned is for registration... would be kind of a pain to do too much each login if you want users to come back again and again...
what are you looking for from a security perspective??

I just want to be alerted if someone signs up for my forum. I looked in the SP forums section, I see as if there is a template to send a welcome to the forum w.user name and password? I would just like to send a welcome email and thanks for joining the forum. Do you think the standard WP sign in is good enough? Or do you recommend a better sign in plugin?
Regards,

we just use standard... but some you might look at

since you mentioned email template, I assume you looked at forum - options - email settings... you can customize the email text to whatever you want it to be...
personally, think wp login is fine... issue is more with users and weak passwords... but if you really want something like two factor authentication, then

but I would recommend a plugin that locks an IP after X number failed login attempts... such as
