== Installation ==
=== From within WordPress ===

== Screenshots ==
1. The first-time install wizard allows you to setup 2FA on your website and for your user within seconds.
2. The wizards make setting up 2FA very easy, so even non technical users can setup 2FA without requiring help.
3. You can require users to enable 2FA and also give them a grace period to do so.
4. Users can also use one-time codes via email as a two-factor authentication method.
5. It is recommended for all users to also generate backup codes, in case they cannot access the primary device.
6. In the user profile users only have a few 2FA options, so it is not confusing for them and everything is self explanatory.
7. The plugin blocks the accounts of users who are required to have 2FA but fail to enable it within the grace period, so they do not jeopardize the security of your website.
