Step 1: Click on the site where you want to enable 2FA for WordPress admin access.


Step 2: Navigate to the Users section and click on the Manage button.




Step 3: You will see a list of existing WordPress admin users on the site. Select the user for whom you want to enable 2FA and click the Manage 2FA button, as shown in the screenshot.





Step 4: Click Apply, which will trigger a verification email sent to the email address associated with the selected WordPress admin user.






Step 5: The email will contain a link labeled Set up Two-Factor Authentication. Click on this link to be redirected to the 2FA setup page.
