- Subject: Important security update: New login process for your website
- Hi [Client Name],
- As part of the hardening steps of your website after the recent security incident, we have added an extra layer of protection to your WordPress login called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA).
- Compromised passwords are an extremely common way websites are hacked, and 2FA ensures that even if an unauthorized person gains access to your password, they cannot get in with that password alone.
- What this means for you:
- -- Logging in to Wordpress will now require a regular password plus a temporary code
- Here is how to setup the 2FA:
- -- Download an authenticator app (if you don't already have one): We recommend Google Authenticator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&hl=en_US
- -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
- For all future logins, you won't need to scan a QR code again—you will just enter your password, open the app, and type in the 6-digit code it displays.
- All Wordpress admin users will need to complete this setup. For your reference, here are all the active admin users for your site. Please deactivate any users that are no longer needed, then communicate to those users to setup their accounts to use 2FA.
- -- username // email
- -- username // email
- If you run into any issues getting this set up, please let me know. We are happy to jump on a quick call to walk you through the process together.
