Passwords leak. Two-factor authentication adds a second step at login so a stolen password alone can’t get anyone into your site — one of the strongest protections available.
After entering your password, you also enter a one-time code from an authenticator app on your phone. Without that code, even someone with your correct password can’t log in.
Install a two-factor plugin, scan its QR code with an authenticator app, and store the backup codes somewhere safe. Apply it to every administrator account, not just your own.
Keep your backup codes so you can still log in if you lose your phone. For teams, make sure more than one trusted person can recover access in an emergency.
Two-factor authentication makes a stolen password useless — enable it on every administrator account and keep your backup codes safe.
