However, you can easily add this extra layer of security using a dedicated plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two-factor authentication helps protect your website by requiring an additional verification step after entering a valid username and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_86 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter
