 * Hi [@kloproterra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kloproterra/),
 * You’ve identified a genuine, well-known limitation of this plugin. The Two Factor
   plugin currently works on a voluntary, per-user basis — each user must opt in
   to configure a second factor themselves. There is no built-in way for a site 
   administrator to require that users in certain roles have 2FA configured before
   they can access the site. This gap is consistently the most-requested missing
   feature in the plugin.
 * There is an open [GitHub issue (#846)](https://github.com/WordPress/two-factor/issues/846)
   tracking role-based enforcement as a planned feature, but it isn’t in the plugin
   yet.
 * Sorry the plugin doesn’t meet your use case in its current state — hopefully 
   the enforcement feature lands in a future release.

 * Hey [@bowerwebsolutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bowerwebsolutions/)
 * The email code validation screen showing the WordPress logo is actually not specific
   to the Two Factor plugin — this is WordPress core behavior. WordPress uses the
   same login page styling (with the WP logo) for all login-related screens by default,
   including the 2FA validation step.
 * To customize it with your own logo and branding, you can use the built-in **`
   login_enqueue_scripts`** and **`login_headerurl`** hooks that WordPress provides
   natively — no plugin needed. If you want a more complete solution with full theme
   branding, there are a lot plugins in the repository. See here: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/login+page+customizer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/login+page+customizer/)
 * Since the 2FA validation screen reuses WordPress’s standard login page template,
   this customization will apply to it automatically — no special handling for the
   Two Factor plugin is required.

 * Hi everyone,
 * I believe these are two separate issues. I’ve drafted a fix for the WPML / multi-
   domain setup which you can find here: [https://github.com/WordPress/two-factor/pull/886](https://github.com/WordPress/two-factor/pull/886)
 * If you’re affected, please test and let us know whether it resolves the issue
   for you. Feel free to leave feedback directly on the PR as well — that helps 
   us track it in one place.

   reply to: [[Two Factor] Authenticator App Icon](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authenticator-app-icon/)
 *  Plugin Contributor [Brian Haas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/masteradhoc/)
 * (@masteradhoc)
 * [1 month, 2 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/authenticator-app-icon/#post-18892307)
 * Hey [@technabob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/technabob/)
 * Thank you very much for opening this support request 🙂
 * The icon shown in authenticator apps comes from your site’s favicon. The Two 
   Factor plugin passes your site URL as the issuer when generating the QR code,
   and apps like Google Authenticator or Authy use that to fetch and display the
   favicon.
 * A few things to check on the site where the icon isn’t showing:
    1. **Make sure a Site Icon is set** — go to Appearance → Customize → Site Identity
       and upload a square image (512×512px is recommended).
    2. **Re-add the account in your authenticator app** — many apps fetch the icon 
       only once, at the time you scan the QR code. If the favicon wasn’t set back 
       then, the app won’t show it even after you add one. Removing and re-adding the
       2FA account (after setting the favicon) should pick it up.
    3. **Use a standard format** — a square PNG works best. Some apps struggle with
       SVG or non-square favicons.
 * Hope that helps!

   [[Two Factor] Version wordpress 6.9.4](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-wordpress-6-9-4/)

 * [1 month, 3 weeks ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/version-wordpress-6-9-4/#post-18888708)
 * Hey [@mjezegou35](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mjezegou35/)
 * Thanks for reaching out! Our support policy covers the current and previous major
   versions of WordPress. 
   With WordPress 6.9 being the latest release, we actively
   support 6.8 and 6.9. Since you’re on 6.6.2, that version falls outside our current
   support window, which is why we’re unable to guarantee compatibility or troubleshoot
   activation issues on that version.We’d strongly recommend upgrading WordPress
   to 6.9 — the current plugin release is fully compatible and multisite network
   activation will work as expected.If upgrading isn’t an option right now, you 
   can install an older release of the Two Factor plugin as a workaround. We’d suggest
   version 0.14.2, which is the last release before the minimum WordPress requirement
   was raised to 6.8.
 * You can download it here:
   [https://github.com/WordPress/two-factor/releases/tag/0.14.2](https://github.com/WordPress/two-factor/releases/tag/0.14.2)
   Please note: we don’t recommend staying on an older plugin version long-term,
   as it won’t receive bug fixes or security updates. This should only be a temporary
   solution while you plan your WordPress upgrade.Let us know if you have any other
   questions!

   motivated. If you ever run into edge cases or have feature ideas, the GitHub 
   repo is always open.

 * Hi [@yeosunhui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yeosunhui/)
 * I understand you no longer have access to your Authenticator app and didn’t activate
   recovery codes. Now you want to reset Two Factor authentication . Here are your
   options:
 * If you have access to the WordPress admin through another admin account, you 
   can manage the user’s 2FA settings directly from Users → [username] → Edit. This
   allows you to reset the TOTP and let the user set it up again.
 * If you dont have another admin access let me know!
