Multi factor authentication ( 2FA / MFA )
You can configure multiple WordPress 2FA methods like google authenticator, OTP over Email, OTP over SMS, etc, and choose which method you want to login to your website from a list of configured methods. Multi-factor authentication is helpful for cases such as when you do not have your phone and cannot access your TOTP app for login. You can then use other multi-factor authentication methods like OTP over Email to login.

Why do you need to register for Multi Factor authentication?
Multi Factor authentication uses miniOrange APIs to communicate between your WP and miniOrange. To keep this communication secure, we ask you to register and assign API keys specific to your account. This way your account and users’ calls can be only accessed by API keys assigned to you.
Adding to this, you can also use the same account on multiple applications and your users do not have to maintain multiple accounts or WordPress 2FA like Google Authenticator. Single code generated in Google Authenticator will be enough to log in to all sites. With this, you can also achieve sync of two factor authentication on multiple sites. This helps to provide a secure Wp 2fa cloud solution.
