Security isn’t an afterthought on our builds — it’s built in from day one.
That’s why every website we launch includes Two-Factor Authentication as standard. It’s one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your site.
Why We Install It
WordPress is a powerful platform. When implemented properly, it’s secure and dependable.
But login pages are a common target across the entire internet — not just WordPress sites.
Passwords alone aren’t enough anymore. They can be reused, guessed, leaked, or exposed elsewhere. Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of protection that significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access.
It protects against:
- Brute force login attempts
- Stolen or weak passwords
- Automated attacks
- Unauthorised admin access
It’s a small addition that delivers a big improvement in security.
What It Does
Two-Factor Authentication requires two forms of verification when logging in:
- Your password
- A temporary code generated on your phone (or sent to your email)
After entering your password, you’ll be asked for a one-time code. That code changes every 30 seconds and can only be accessed by you.
Even if someone somehow discovers your password, they still can’t log in without that second code.
It’s the same approach used by banks, cloud services, and major online platforms — and now your website benefits from it too.
How to Set It Up
Setup takes just a few minutes.
1. Log into WordPress
Access your dashboard as usual.
2. Open Your Profile
Go to Users → Your Profile
3. Enable Two-Factor Authentication
In the Two-Factor Options section, choose your preferred method.
We strongly recommend using an authenticator app such as:
- Google Authenticator
- Microsoft Authenticator
- Authy
These are free and available on iOS and Android. It is also likely that if you are using a password manager, such as 1Password, they have them built in too.
4. Scan the QR Code
Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code displayed on screen.
5. Confirm
Enter the 6-digit code generated by the app to activate it.
That’s it. Protection enabled.
Why We Recommend Authenticator Apps
While email codes are available, authenticator apps are:
- More secure
- Faster
- Not dependent on email access
- Less vulnerable to phishing
It’s the strongest option with minimal effort.
What Changes for You?
Very little.
When logging in:
- Enter your username and password
- Enter the code from your app
It adds seconds to the login process — and massively increases protection.
