Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for your system is an important step to protect user accounts and the site as a whole. When 2FA is activated, anyone attempting to access your account will need to enter the required authentication code in addition to the password.

Here are instructions on how to enable Two-Factor Authentication in WordPress:

1. Install 2FA Plugin

• Install and activate a 2FA plugin from the WordPress store or external plugin providers.
• Popular 2FA plugins include “Two Factor Authentication” or “Google Authenticator.”

2. Configure 2FA Plugin

• After installation, you will usually have a “2FA” or “Security” menu in your personal menu.
• In this category, you can configure 2FA options, including the types of authentication you want to use.

3. Choose 2FA Methods

• There are two common types of 2FA:
• OTP (One-Time Password): A verification code sent along with the password or sent via a mobile app.
• App-Based Authentication: Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy to generate 2FA codes.

4. Verification and Additional Settings

• After setting up 2FA, depending on the method you chose, you’ll need to perform an initial verification to activate the tool.
• You can set up lockout policies or configure 2FA code retrieval according to your preferences.

Two-Factor Authentication adds an additional layer of security to your user accounts and the entire WordPress system. It is recommended to use 2FA as part of the site’s security policy.
