 * Hi!
    I would like to enable or hide Two Factor authentication by email as default.
   Is there any hook, or something to add that functionality?
 * Regards!

 * I have also enabled 2 factor. But it is not showing any option to add email or
   when I re-login successfully, it doesn’t prompt any other option for authentication.
   
   Could you please tell us how to configure it? Thanks.

 * How do you mean [@gyurmey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gyurmey/)? Could
   you explain in more detail? Is it that you are interested in _requiring_ certain
   users to use Two-Factor?
 * [@chelebela1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chelebela1/), you should see
   settings on the bottom of each user’s Profile page in WP-Admin. Additionally,
   when you login again you should see a prompt to “Setup Two-Factor”. If you aren’t
   seeing this, make sure the “Skip Two-Factor Onboarding” User Group isn’t enabled
   for your users. Also, make sure you are logging in via the WordPress login form.
   Logging in from the “front-end” of your site, like for instance via the WooCommerce
   login form won’t show the Two-Factor onboarding process.

 * I would like to set options using filters like [these](https://en.wordpress.org/plugins/two-factor/)
   => ACTIONS & FILTERS => `two_factor_providers` and `two_factor_enabled_providers_for_user`.

 * Hi Timothy, Thanks for your reply. I have found ‘Two-Factor Authentication Options’
   on WP dashboard under Users–>Profile menu. After I enabled my email, I tried 
   to login with a different browser. But I received the code **after 18 minutes**(
   and again after **37 minutes** and **53 minutes** as I pressed ‘resend code’ 
   multiple times). I think users may find it inconvenient if they have to wait 
   so long to login.
    Thanks.

 * [@gyurmey](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gyurmey/) you may find this helpful:

 * [@chelebela1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chelebela1/) Unfortunately,
   we don’t have much control over the timing of the email. We send the email immediately
   using `wp_mail()`. From there, it is up to how your server sends email and your
   email provider to determine how long it takes for the email to be delivered.
 * To improve email deliverability, you can try a service like [SendGrid](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-improve-wordpress-email-deliverability-with-sendgrid/)
   or [SendWP](https://sendwp.com).
 * Generally, we also recommend that you use the Mobile App Two-Factor method which
   eliminates these timing issues entirely.
