## Përshkrim

### 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.

   your users within seconds.
 * [[
 * The wizards make setting up 2FA very easy, so even non-technical users can set
   up 2FA without requiring help.
 * [[
 * Setting up Passkeys is also a straightforward in WP 2FA. The users just have 
   to follow the step by step instructions.
 * [[
 * You can require users to enable 2FA and also give them a grace period to do so.
 * [[
 * Users can also use one-time codes via email as a two-factor authentication method.
 * [[
 * Users can configure and use Passkeys to log in to the website when using WP 2FA.
 * [[
 * Users can easily manage their Passkeys from their user profile page.
 * [[
 * You can use policies to require users to instantly set up and use 2FA, so the
   next time they log in, they will be prompted with this.

## PBR

### Does the plugin send any data to Melapress?

No, the plugin does not send any data to us whatsoever. The only data we receive
is license data from the premium edition of the plugin.

### What 2FA methods are available with the plugin?

The free edition of WP 2FA includes the following 2FA methods: Authenticator app
2FA and code over email. This allows you to use Google Authenticator OTP The premium
edition adds YubiKey, one-click email link, SMS 2FA, and Authy push notifications.

### How can I integrate two-factor authentication (2FA) into my custom login process or AJAX-based form?

WP 2FA includes a REST API that allows developers to enable and verify 2FA during
custom authentication flows, such as AJAX-based login forms, mobile apps, or headless
WordPress websites. Refer to the [REST API in WP 2FA documentation](https://melapress.com/support/kb/wp-2fa-rest-api/?utm_source=wp+repo&utm_medium=repo+link&utm_campaign=wordpress_org&utm_content=wp2fa)
for more information.

### How can I ensure I do not get locked out?

WP 2FA includes backup authentication methods so that if the primary authentication
method fails, you and your users can still log in. The free version of the plugin
includes backup codes, which can be configured during 2FA configuration or at any
point after that from the profile page. The premium edition adds 2FA backup codes
over email.

### What happens if I get locked out?

In the unlikely event that you are unable to supply your 2FA code, there are several
steps you can take to gain access to your WordPress dashboard. First, check if there
is another administrator who can reset your 2FA. If this is not possible, manually
deactivate the plugin, log in without 2FA, re-activate the plugin, and then reconfigure
your 2FA.

### Does WP 2FA support multi-site networks?

Yes, WP 2FA is multisite compatible. The plugin can be activated at the network 
level. 2FA policies can be enforced on all users, a subsection of users, or per 
site on the network. It also supports network setups with different domains.

### Does the plugin receive updates?

We update the plugin fairly regularly to ensure the plugin continues to run in tip-
top shape while adding new features from time to time.

### Does the plugin support Google Authenticator?

Yes, WP 2FA fully supports Google Authenticator on WordPress. [WP 2FA also supports many other 2FA authenticator apps](https://melapress.com/support/kb/wp-2fa-configuring-2fa-apps/?utm_source=wp+repo&utm_medium=repo+link&utm_campaign=wordpress_org&utm_content=wp2fa).

Hi, I just want to add that even the free version is featurerich and working flawlessly
with Theme My Login. Other similar plugins can learn from this. As far as I’m concerned,
WP 2FA is the best. Best regards,Peter

I had quite a few detailed questions regarding setup, reporting, email automation,
white labeling and translations. Every question was answered clearly and in depth.
The team really takes the time to explain things properly. Very positive experience.

Several of our clients employ this plugin for 2FA. Some of these clients have unusual
or advanced requirements, and the support team has certainly gone the extra mile—
including adding an additional filter to the plugin code for more advanced configuration—
to help address these needs.

#### 3.1.1.2 (2026-02-25)

 * **Improvements**
    - Added a check in the wizard for when a user is setting up 2FA over email, 
      to restrict user to only use the email address on account if they are not 
      allowed to use any other email address.
    - Improved the survey admin notice logic so that once acted upon, it does not
      reappear after plugin updates.
