    Why you should use 2FA for WP Engine?

    WP Engine is a popular platform for hosting WordPress websites. If you're using WP Engine to host your website, it's important to enable 2-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account from unauthorized access.
     
    
     2FA adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a second form of authentication in addition to your password. This can be a code sent to your phone or generated by an app like our Authenticator app.
     
    
     Enabling 2FA on WP Engine is easy. Simply go to your account settings and select "Security" from the menu. From there, you can enable 2FA and choose the method that works best for you.
     
    
     In addition to enabling 2FA, there are other steps you can take to keep your WP Engine account secure. Make sure to use a strong, unique password and avoid using public Wi-Fi when accessing your account. You should also keep your computer and mobile devices up to date with the latest security patches and antivirus software.
     
    
     At our Authenticator app, we take security and privacy seriously. Our app uses industry-standard encryption to protect your 2FA codes and we never store any of your personal information on our servers.
     
    
     By enabling 2FA on WP Engine and using our Authenticator app, you can rest assured that your website is secure and protected from unauthorized access.
