Security is always an important factor with any online solution. One way to strengthen security is to use two-factor authentication (2FA). We are super excited that our Hosting Partner WP Engine has enabled Two-Factor authentication within their User Portal.
If you are currently a WP Engine Customer or we have provided you access please enable this within your profile today.
What is two-factor authentication?
Most simply put, two-factor authentication is a security method that requires you to enter a second factor beyond a password in order to gain access to your account. Here at WP Engine, we are using the Google Authenticator app, which will display a code on your mobile device that you must enter along with your password to log in and gain access to the WP Engine User Portal. That code changes every 30 seconds.
