Secure Your WordPress APIs with Advanced Authentication
The WordPress REST API Authentication plugin provides essential security features for WordPress sites by protecting REST API endpoints from unauthorized access. Users can implement various authentication methods, including API Key, JWT, Basic, and OAuth 2.0, ensuring that only authenticated users can access site resources. This plugin is particularly beneficial for developers who need to secure custom-built REST endpoints or those from popular plugins like WooCommerce and BuddyPress.
With a free plan that includes Basic and JWT Authentication, users can restrict access to non-logged-in users and selectively protect APIs. Premium features expand capabilities to include role-based authentication, time-based token expiry, and custom header support. The plugin also facilitates integration with third-party services, allowing seamless data interaction while maintaining high security standards, making it a valuable tool for WordPress developers.
