I made this video to help you add two-factor authentication (2FA) to your WordPress login, which is one of the best ways to protect your site from unauthorized access.
With so many WordPress sites being targeted by brute force attacks, enabling 2FA adds an essential extra layer of security. In the video, I walk through:
- Installing a plugin like WP 2FA or Google Authenticator
- Configuring your user account for 2FA
- Linking it with an app like Authy or Google Authenticator
- Saving backup codes
- Testing the login to make sure everything works smoothly
I also cover how to enforce 2FA for other users, and how to avoid getting locked out.
I enable 2FA on every client site I build — it’s a simple habit that saves a lot of stress down the line.
Is your WordPress site currently protected with 2FA, or are you adding it for the first time?
