How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for WP Engine
To keep your WP Engine account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how WP Engine 2FA works, which methods WP Engine supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your WP Engine 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.
2FA methods WP Engine supports
- SMS text message
- Authenticator app (TOTP)
- Proprietary app
An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.
