# Two-Factor Authentication for WordPress

## Why Should You Opt for Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

### Extra Login Protection That Goes Beyond Passwords
Two-Factor Authentication adds a second verification step during login, helping protect WordPress accounts even if passwords are reused or exposed elsewhere.

### Flexible 2FA Setup Based on User Roles
Choose exactly which roles need extra login verification. Apply stronger protection to Administrators or Editors while keeping access simple for other users.

### Branded Verification Emails Users Can Trust
Customize the email subject and content used for login verification so it matches your site’s branding and feels familiar to your users.

### Reliable Security for Multi-User and Client Sites
Role-based 2FA works well for agencies, membership sites, and content teams by protecting sensitive access without adding friction for every user.
