Enabling 2 Factor Authentication (2FA)

Once you are logged into the site, please follow the below instructions for setting up your 2FA settings:

1. Go to the Wordfence “Login Security” page. This should be in the left hand menu in the website backend.
2. Open your authenticator application and add a new entry. Most apps have a plus sign symbol or a tiny QR code symbol.
3. Scan the QR code on the “Login Security” page. Your authenticator application should then display a six-digit code.
   • If you are accessing a site on a phone or tablet and obviously cannot point the camera at its own screen, you can copy the line of letters and numbers below the QR code, and paste that in an application, using the application’s “manual” setup option.
4. In the “Download recovery codes” section, click the “Download” button.
   • Recovery codes can be used if you lose your device.
   • Print or save the file and store it in a safe place.
5. Enter the six-digit code that appears in your authenticator application.
   • This code changes every 30 seconds.
   • If the code expires, you can enter the next code instead.
6. Click the “Activate” button.
