On the left side, find and click on “Login Security” in the admin menu. - Choose and Configure 2FA:
Install your preferred 2FA app, e.g. Google Authenticator, FreeOTP, and Authy, etc, on your mobile phone. Follow the on-screen instructions to set it up. When using an authenticator app, scan the QR code or enter the secret key. - Backup Codes:
Backup codes are for situations where you can’t use your primary 2FA method. Store them in a safe place. - Verify and Save:
Complete the setup by verifying your chosen 2FA method. This involves entering a code sent to your selected mobile app. Save your settings. - Test 2FA:
Log out of your WordPress account and log back in. Enter the 2FA code when prompted, along with your password. - Done!
Congratulations! Your account now has an essential added layer of security with 2-Factor Authentication.
Remember to keep your 2FA method secure and, if applicable, store any backup codes in a safe place. Your account is now better protected against unauthorised access.
