The advantage of using a two-factor authentication (2FA) plugin for your WordPress site is that it helps to protect users with weak or exploited passwords.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It does this by requiring a one-time code when a user has to log in. These codes are obtained through an authentication plugin or email.\u00a0 This tutorial will step you through using this plugin and describe its features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#video\">Two Factor Authentication \u2013 Video<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#install\">Installing the Two Factor Authentication Plugin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#enable\">Enabling 2FA with the Plugin<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#user\">Configuring a User<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#site-wide\">Site-wide Configuration of 2FA<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#features\">Plugin Features<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"video\">Two Factor Authentication \u2013 Video<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><div class=\"yt-Lzv5qhv9qJo\">\n\t<a class=\"play-video-Lzv5qhv9qJo\" style=\"position: relative; display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center; cursor: pointer;\">\n\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi_webp\/Lzv5qhv9qJo\/maxresdefault.webp\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"Two Factor Authentication - WordPress Plugin\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto;\">\n\t\t<span class=\"fa fa-imh-play-circle imh-ds-icon play-circle\" style=\"position: absolute; display:block; font-size:150px; color: #c52228; opacity:0;\"><\/span>\n\t<\/a>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"install\">Installing the Two Factor Authentication Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This WordPress plugin installation will require you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/edu\/wordpress\/logging-into-wordpress-dashboard\/\">log into your Administrator Dashboard<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"article_list wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on <strong>Plugins<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Add New.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search for \u201c<strong>Two Factor Authentication<\/strong>.\u201d Several plugins will appear, but search for the one by \u201c<em>David Anderson, original plugin by Oskar Hane and enhanced by Dee Nutbourne<\/em>.\u201d<br><br><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"348\" class=\"wp-image-102446\" style=\"width: 500px;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/install-now.jpg\" alt=\"Install now - graphic from plugin page\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/install-now.jpg 493w, https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/install-now-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1360px) 876px, (min-width: 960px) calc(61.58vw + 51px), calc(100vw - 80px)\" \/><br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Activate<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When the installation completes, you will see <strong>Two Factor Auth<\/strong> added to the menu under <strong>Users<\/strong>.
