Two Factor Authentication for WordPress Website Development
If you are using WordPress Website Development, then among other features you must also be conscious about your website’s security. In the age of malpractice and malware, many hackers target WordPress websites for their benefits. If your website has important data and statistics, then it is all the more important to worry about protecting your website.
An experienced WordPress Website Development Company can guide you through the entire security process but some of the first steps you need to take include using a strong password and a security plugin against malware. You may also want to change your default wp-admin URL for additional security.
Adding Two-Factor Authentication for your WP login
One of the most common ways hackers attack your website is brute force attacks. They use automated scripts to guess username/password and break into your WordPress site. If they manage to do this, they can infect your site with malware.
However, it is easy to protect your site with two-factor authentication. Even if someone breaks the password, they will need a security code to gain access to your website.
You can set up two-factor authentication in WordPress in the following ways:
-
Using SMS
-
Google Authenticator App
Adding 2 step SMS authentication for WordPress login

When you install and activate these, you will be able to make the necessary changes in the Your Profile section, under Two Factor Options.
