Are you aware that two-factor authentication (2FA) has the capacity of boosting the strength in terms of security for your WordPress website? And if you feel skeptical about it, ask yourself one last question: How many online accounts do you have? Do you remember the passwords for every single one of them? Do they all have unique, strong passwords, or do you rely on the same one for several sites? If a hacker breaks into one of your accounts, it is easy for them to break into others; especially if you have such weak passwords as "fluffy,"" or even from written-down passwords. Public networks and easily guessable credentials only make it easier for cybercriminals to exploit your data. At any time, thousands of sites based on WordPress are under attack by bots; this puts the site and its visitors at risk from infections because of malwares. A compromised website could get delisted from search engines, and even hosting providers loyal to 4GoodHosting might get it blocked. When this happens, it can lead to tons of profit losses that undo your hard work and effort. What Is Two-Factor Authentication? What Is Two-Factor Authentication?

Without it, a password is simply insufficient; you'd want to include something that is much more difficult for unauthorized users to access.

So, what does two-factor authentication really refer to? In its essence, it could be something as simple as entering a CAPTCHA or a PIN. Some sites may require you to either identify a specific pattern or use a physical device to verify your identity. Fundamentally, 2FA ensures that users validate their identity using something they possess (like a mobile device) alongside something they know, like a password. Your password is not replaced by 2FA; instead, it adds an extra step that only you-the rightful administrator of that account-can complete after entering your password....
