How to use 2FA General Configuration options

Two-Factor Authentication verifies the identity of users who login to your site - i.e. they are who they say they are. 

You can use 2FA General Configuration options to:

• Choose the type of the MFA verification page:
  • Custom Shield MFA page; or
  • WP login page
• Specify pages available to users to configure 2FA on their account:
  • WP User Profile Page
  • Dedicated WP Admin Page
• Set 2FA Remember Me - A user can by-pass Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for the set number of days.
• Allow users to generate a Backup Code - This backup code can be used to login if 2FA factors are unavailable.

Note: If your host blocks email sending you may lock yourself out. If that happens, please follow this guide here.

Note: ShieldPRO is required for Two-Factor By-Pass (2FA "Remember Me") and a Backup Code features. To find out what the extra ShieldPRO features are and how to purchase, please follow this link here.
