Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Atomic Edge Security – Firewall, Malware Scan and Login Security

Yes, this plugin requires an Atomic Edge account to function. You can sign up for free at atomicedge.io.

Yes! Atomic Edge offers a free tier with basic WAF protection. Advanced features are available on paid plans.

After creating your Atomic Edge account and adding your site, you can generate an API key from the site settings page in your Atomic Edge dashboard.

No. The Atomic Edge WAF runs on our edge servers, not on your WordPress installation. The plugin only communicates with our API for configuration and analytics. If you are currently investigating high TTFB or Core Web Vitals regressions from plugin-level inspection, see our technical write-up on whether Wordfence is slowing down your site.

Yes. When your site is connected to Atomic Edge, you can run a vulnerability scan of WordPress core, plugins, and themes from the Atomic Edge admin menu.

Atomic Edge uses the OWASP Core Rule Set to block: * SQL Injection * Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) * Remote File Inclusion * Local File Inclusion * And many more common attack vectors For focused login hardening, see our guide to wp-login.php brute force protection.

Yes. Atomic Edge can help reduce automated checkout abuse, credential stuffing, card testing, and fake order traffic before it reaches WooCommerce. For implementation details and operational guidance, see our guide to WooCommerce bot and carding protection.

Atomic Edge can apply edge-level controls to wp-json and xmlrpc.php so abusive or unnecessary traffic is filtered before it hits WordPress. For a deeper technical explanation, see our guide to REST API and XML-RPC security.

Yes! The 2FA feature works independently and does not require an Atomic Edge account or API connection. It uses industry-standard TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) compatible with Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, and other authenticator apps.

2FA requires PHP 7.2+ with either: * Native libsodium extension (recommended, included in most modern PHP installations), OR * WordPress 5.2+ (which includes sodium_compat, a pure PHP fallback) The plugin automatically detects and uses the best available option.
