Migrate from Wordfence Login Security

Migrate from Wordfence Login Security​

This is a checklist, not an importer. It helps you move deliberately while keeping a recovery path.

Before you start​

  • Confirm at least one administrator can sign in.
  • Save current recovery codes or emergency access instructions from the existing plugin.
  • Install Awthy without disabling the existing plugin.
  • Set up Awthy two-factor authentication and recovery codes for one administrator.

This guide covers account security only. Keep any separate firewall or scanning protection you still need.

Migration checklist​

  • Verify Awthy sign-in for one administrator.
  • Verify recovery codes before enforcing a policy.
  • Decide whether customers are optional, invited, or excluded for now.
  • Disable the old plugin only after Awthy sign-in and recovery are tested.

What does not migrate automatically​

  • Existing authenticator-app secrets.
  • Existing passkeys or WebAuthn credentials.
  • Existing recovery codes.
  • Existing trusted-device cookies.

Rollback​

If sign-in fails, use the old plugin's documented recovery path or Awthy recovery codes before changing enforcement settings.
