Can you implement modern password hashing (argon2id) or enforce 2FA for admin users on Magento 1?

Yes, we can enhance Magento 1 login security by implementing both:

  • Modern password hashing algorithms, such as Argon2id or bcrypt. These are supported by Magento 1's core authentication logic and modern PHP libraries.
  • Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for admin users via:
    • Google Authenticator
    • Email/SMS-based OTP codes
    • Custom token validation modules

These upgrades protect your store against brute force attacks and improve overall login security, which is critical for Magento 1 stores post EOL.

Strengthening admin authentication is one of the best ways to secure your Magento 1 store, and MageAnts makes it happen efficiently.
