Best WordPress Plugins to Enable Two-Factor Authentication

It’s highly recommended to use two-factor authentication for your online accounts to secure them from hacking attacks. Here I’m not only talking about Google, Twitter or Facebook accounts but I want to make you concern about your WordPress.Org blog or website. In fact, if you’re running a profitable blog or any business website on WordPress CMS, it’s mandatory for you to enable Two-Factor Authentication.

However, as I already discussed in previous posts that Google and Twitter has built-in feature to enable two-factor authentication but in case of WordPress, there is no built-in option to do so. Still, you can do it by using some special WordPress plugins that I’m going to disclose in this article.
