A free and easy-to-use two-factor authentication plugin for WordPress
Add an extra layer of security to your WordPress website login and protect your users. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA), the best protection against password leaks, automated password guessing, and brute force attacks.
Use the WP 2FA plugin to enable two-factor authentication for your WordPress administrator, enforce 2FA for all your website users, or for users with specific roles. This plugin is very easy to use; everything can be configured via wizards with clear instructions, so even non-technical users can set up 2FA without requiring technical assistance.
