Stop Spam Registration

Tired of cleaning up thousands of fake user registrations from spam bots? KhubaibTech OTP Registration Shield is a lightweight yet powerful security plugin that adds a crucial layer of verification to your WordPress registration form.

Instead of relying on complex and often frustrating CAPTCHAs, this plugin requires users to prove they have access to the email address they are using. It's a simple, user-friendly process that is incredibly effective at blocking automated spam bots.

How It Works

1. A "Verification Code" field is added to your default WordPress registration form.
2. The user enters their desired username and email, then clicks the "Send Verification Code" button.
3. A secure, one-time password (OTP) is sent to their email address.
4. The user enters the code to complete their registration.

This ensures that only users with valid, accessible email addresses can register, drastically reducing spam and improving the quality of your user base.

4. That's it! The verification field will now be active on your registration page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this work with custom registration forms?

This version integrates with the default WordPress registration form (/wp-login.php?action=register). Integration with other form plugins like WooCommerce, BuddyPress, or third-party form builders is not supported at this time.

Is it secure?

Can I change the email that is sent?

Absolutely! Go to Settings > KhubaibTech OTP Registration Shield in your admin dashboard to customize the email subject and body.
