There are 2 ways by using which you can enable 2FA for users.

  1. Enable 2FA for the individual user
  2. Enable 2FA for multiple users
  3. Enable 2FA for all users in a group.

A. Enable 2FA for the individual user

  1. Navigate to User Management tab in the 2FA app settings
  2. Select 2FA for Users tab.
  3. Search for the user by using the username
  4. Click on Enable 2FA action against that user.

B. Enable 2FA for multiple users 

  1. Navigate to User Management tab in the 2FA app settings.
  2. Select 2FA for Users tab.
  3. Choose Enable 2FA for Selected users in the Bulk 2FA Action dropdown.
  4. Select the checkboxes for the users for whom you want to enable 2FA
  5. Click on Apply button.

C. Enable 2FA for all users in the group

  1. Navigate to User Management tab in the 2FA app settings
  2. Select 2FA for Groups tab.
  3. Search for the group name
  4. Click on Enable 2FA link for that group


It will activate 2FA for all users in that group.

If 2FA is enabled for any group & the new user is created under this group, the plugin will automatically enable 2FA for that user.

This is how you can enable 2FA for your users.
