Modern Authentication
From passwords to passkeys.
Apex Security supports the full spectrum of WordPress authentication — from traditional passwords to cutting-edge WebAuthn passkeys.
WebAuthn passkeys — the future of authentication:
Passkeys use public-key cryptography tied to biometric sensors (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) or hardware security keys (YubiKey). They are inherently phishing-proof because the credential is bound to the domain and cannot be intercepted or replayed. Apex Security implements the full WebAuthn standard for WordPress admin authentication.
Core Features
Protection without compromises.
Apex Security provides a comprehensive defense-in-depth architecture — every layer working together to keep your WordPress sites safe from modern threats.
Virtual Patching
Automatically shields known CVEs at the firewall level before you can update vulnerable plugins. Zero-downtime protection deployed within hours of disclosure.
Passkeys & WebAuthn
Modern passwordless authentication using biometrics or hardware security keys for WordPress admin. Phishing-proof by design — credentials never leave the device.
Two-Factor Authentication
TOTP-based second factor for all WordPress user roles, with backup codes and recovery options. Compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, and 1Password.
File Integrity Monitoring
Continuous verification of WordPress core files against official checksums. Detects unauthorized modifications, injected backdoors, and tampered plugin binaries.
