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.

How to enable or set up 2FA for WP Engine

WP Engine supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step WP Engine guide, or read the official WP Engine documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.

How to recover your WP Engine account

If you've lost access to your WP Engine account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact WP Engine support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
