| 91 | == Installing WP 2FA == |
| 92 | |
| 93 | ###From within WordPress |
| 94 | |
| 95 | 1. Navigate to ‘Plugins > Add New’ |
| 96 | 2. Search for ‘WP 2FA’ |
| 97 | 3. Install & activate WP 2FA from your Plugins page |
| 98 | |
| 99 | ###Manually |
| 100 | |
| 101 | 1. Download the plugin from the WordPress plugins repository |
| 102 | 2. Unzip the zip file and upload the folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory |
| 103 | 3. Activate the WP 2FA plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress |
| 104 | |
| 105 | == Screenshots == |
| 106 | |
| 107 | 1. The first-time install wizard allows you to setup 2FA on your website and for your user within seconds. |
| 108 | 2. The wizards make setting up 2FA very easy, so even non technical users can setup 2FA without requiring help. |
| 109 | 3. You can require users to enable 2FA and also give them a grace period to do so. |
| 110 | 4. Users can also use one-time codes via email as a two-factor authentication method. |
| 111 | 5. You can use policies to require users to instantly set up and use 2FA, so the next time they login they will be prompted with this. |
| 112 | 6. You can give users a grace period until they configure 2FA. You can also specify what should the plugin do once the grace period is over. |
| 113 | 7. It is recommended for all users to also generate backup codes, in case they cannot access the primary device. |
| 114 | 8. In the user profile users only have a few 2FA options, so it is not confusing for them and everything is self explanatory. |
