Two Factor Authentication help
-
I was wondering if Sucuri has support for 2FA for WordPress logins in the plugin, or if there’s a recommended 2FA plugin that would work well with Sucuri?
My site has been the target of multiple attacks recently, and hackers have successfully accessed the site and removed the Sucuri plugin. I’ve already attempted to limit access to the admin section via white listing, but staff needs access to the site from non-static IPs so I’m looking for the best solution to secure WP logins when I can’t white list the IP address.

Sucuri offers 2FA on their WAF. You would have to pay for their WAF service. It’s basically a protected page that you can put over any page of your site that requires a code to access the page it is protecting. In this case, you can add that protected page over the backend login, /wp-admin.
Here’s a link to Sucuri explaining the 2FA feature:

*The Wordfence Login Security Plugin has 2FA and Google reCaptcha.*
If you are concerned with security for your website, I recommend going with Sucuri’s Security Platform. The platform has different tier plans which all includes a Web Application Firewall, website monitoring, server-side scanner, protected pages (which was discussed above) and some more features.
