2-factor Authentication

How does it work

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your ManageWP login process. When enabled, you’ll be required to enter a six-digit code from your phone or another device every time you log in. This prevents unauthorized access to your account. Even if someone gains access to your login credentials, they won’t be able to impersonate you.

Please note that 2FA protects your ManageWP dashboard only. It does not add 2FA to individual WordPress websites.

New to ManageWP? Here’s how to get started!

  • How to set up 2FA on your account

    Before you start, you must install the Google Authenticator app on your Apple or Android device.

    1. In the top-right corner of your ManageWP dashboard, click your avatar, then click Settings.
    2. Click Security.
    3. Open the Google Authenticator app on your device and choose how to connect it to ManageWP.  
    • Enter the code manually: In the Google Authenticator app, tap Enter a setup key, and then enter the 16-digit code provided in your ManageWP dashboard. 
    • Scan a QR code: In the Google Authenticator app, tap Scan a QR code, and then scan the QR code displayed in your ManageWP dashboard.  

    The next time you log in to ManageWP, you’ll be asked to enter the six-digit code from the Google Authenticator app.
