What's new?

Add Show Inline Help support in component options for Joomla 4.1. Instead of always showing long descriptions under each component option.

Replace “Two Step Verification” with ”Multi-factor Authentication” to make it more clear what this software does. This will ease the transition to Joomla 4.2 where LoginGuard is now part of Joomla itself, as the Multi-factor Authentication feature.

Bug fixes and minor improvements. Please take a look at the CHANGELOG below.

LoginGuard in its current form is being retired

Joomla 4.2.0 and later versions include LoginGuard as a core feature called Multi-factor Authentication. To this end we will only support LoginGuard 6 for Joomla 4.0 and 4.1 and only for two months after Joomla 4.2.0 is released (that is until October 17th, 2022).

We will publish a new version of LoginGuard right before Joomla 4.2.0 which will migrate your existing LoginGuard settings to Joomla's Multi-factor Authentication feature. It will also include the two plugins (Code by PushBullet and Code by SMS) which can't be included in Joomla itself as Joomla does not allow core code to rely on third party services. Any further improvements will be included in Joomla itself.

Joomla! and PHP versions supported

Please consult our Compatibility page. It explains our version support policy and lists which versions of our software are compatible with which versions of Joomla and PHP.
