About Authentication Pages Settings

These settings define your global authentication routing topology, enhancing security measures, providing safety recovery links, and offering direct integration with core ecosystem components like WooCommerce accounts and checkout pages.

The settings panel is organized into five main tabs: Custom Pages, Redirect Rules, WC Integration, Temporary Access Links, and Copy Shortcodes.

1. Custom Pages

Instead of using default, plain WordPress interfaces, this section allows you to designate custom landing pages for your authentication flows. When a page is assigned here, the required shortcodes are dynamically injected backend behind the scenes without manual layout editing.

• Select Login Page: The primary portal. It actively intercepts unauthenticated /wp-login.php requests. Automatically handles the [wawp_otp_login] shortcode.
• Select Signup Page: The dedicated gateway for onboarding new users. Automatically handles the [wawp_signup_form] shortcode.
• Select Fast Login Page: Assigns the target container for the dual-purpose high-speed [wawp-fast-login] shortcode.
• Instantiate Page Action: If a target page does not exist yet, you can click the Instantiate Page (Create & Set) button. This automatically creates a fully published WordPress page with the correct title and shortcode, and assigns it in one click.
• Preview & Layout Editing: Once assigned, quick action buttons let you instantly Preview the frontend page or jump directly to Edit Layout within the WordPress editor.

2. Redirect Rules & Safety Locks

Secure your site portals against script crawler endpoints and brute-force attacks by rerouting default access panels.

• Redirect wp-login.php: When active, this toggle blocks standard WordPress login forms (wp-login.php and /wp-admin login panel) and reroutes unauthenticated requests to your secure custom login page.
• Redirect My Account: When active, logged-out users trying to access WooCommerce /my-account page are automatically routed to your custom login page.

3. WooCommerce Integration

Directly integrate WhatsApp OTP verification into standard WooCommerce templates for a premium, frictionless customer experience.

• Replace WooCommerce Login Forms: Replaces the default username/password login and registration forms on the WooCommerce "My Account" page with the secure [wawp-fast-login] component.
• Replace WooCommerce Checkout Login Form: Replaces the native WooCommerce checkout page login prompt with the custom OTP-enabled form to increase checkout speed and conversion.

4. Phone Verification Bar & Advanced Auth

Gently prompt or enforce phone number verification for users inside their accounts to secure profile data and eliminate fake accounts.

• Phone Verification Bar: Injects an alert header in the customer's "My Account" area prompting them to verify their phone number.
• Verification Method (Preferred Channel):

• WhatsApp Direct: Sends verification requests via WhatsApp.
• Firebase SMS: Sends verification codes via SMS (requires active Firebase SMS configuration).

• Global Bar Customization: Customize the Intro Text (e.g. Confirm your number) and Outro Text (e.g. to get full access and login via WhatsApp OTP.) directly from the settings fields.
• Identity Message Template: Define your OTP message template sent to users (uses the {{otp}} placeholder).

WhatsApp Authentication Types:

If you select WhatsApp Direct, you can choose between two modern delivery methods:

1. Standard OTP: Delivers a classic, secure 6-digit verification code.

2. Interactive List (One-Tap Verify): Sends a high-engagement interactive message on WhatsApp. Instead of typing a code, users simply tap Approve Request (to verify) or Reject & Stop (to cancel) directly inside WhatsApp.

Interactive List Custom Design:

Customize the interactive message parameters directly from the settings panel:

• List Title: e.g., Secure Verification
• Main Description: e.g., Please confirm your identity to continue.
• Selection Button: e.g., Choose Action
• Bottom Footer: e.g., Secure authentication via Wawp
• Item 1 (Success Action) Title & Description: e.g., Approve Request - Verify this is you
• Item 2 (Reject Action) Title & Description: e.g., Reject & Stop - Cancel this attempt

Global Display & Security Lockdown:

• Show Verification Bar Globally: Expands the phone verification bar from account-only pages to all public header blocks on your website.

• Force Phone Verification (Lock Site):

5. Copy Shortcodes

For advanced setups, developers and site builders can manually embed authentication flows anywhere using these standardized shortcodes:
