WP Cerber Security 9.5.7

New feature: remembering users’ devices when using 2FA

When two-factor authentication is enabled, users can now optionally click a checkbox on the 2FA form to remember their devices for a predefined period of days. It’s displayed on the form as “Remember this device for N days?” This feature is configured on a per-role basis in the professional version of WP Cerber. You can specify a duration (in days) for which users’ devices can be remembered.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, specify a number of days greater than 0. An empty value or a zero will disable and hide the checkbox on the form. When it is enabled, it takes precedence over other 2FA settings.

Minor changes

Enhanced details about generated 2FA PIN codes on the user profile page.
The tabs labeled “Role-based” and “Global” are now renamed to “Role Policies” and “Global Policies” respectively.

Squashed bugs

The 2FA email address set on the user profile page is ignored when sending 2FA codes.
A fatal error occurs when using Cerber.Hub and switching to a managed website where automatic updates for WP Cerber were enabled. The error is logged as: “Call to undefined function wp_is_auto_update_enabled_for_type().”
