ManageWP User Guide: Increase your Account Security with Two Factor Authentication
1. Increase your Account Security with Two Factor
Authentication
You can increase the security of your website by adding two-factor
authentication to your ManageWP login process. In addition to entering
your password, if you have enabled this option will be required to input
a verification code that will be sent to you via SMS or email (or
both). This prevents any would-be hackers from gaining access to your
site through means of brute force attacks (or simply guessing your
password).
Furthermore, if you receive an email or SMS with a verification code and
you didn’t try to log into your site, you know that someone else has
attempted to do so.
To set up two step verification login to ManageWP and navigate to
your Username (top right corner) > Settings > Advanced.
Scroll down to Two Factor Authentication.
Choose whether you want to receive your verification via email or both.
Save your options.
Your account is now even more secure. Next time you log in to
ManageWP you will be asked to complete a second step.
