WP Engine
The best way to log in, without passwords.
What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication is a system where you use two forms of ID to
confirm a user before you log them in.
1. Knowledge — something you remember
2. Possession — something you have
3. Inherence — something you are
What is Clef?
Clef is two-factor authentication, without passwords or codes
It’s easier to set up and use than most other two-factor auth
It’s built on cryptography that protects your site against more attacks
Clef is free for everyone
It requires you have an iPhone or Android phone to log into your site

security pro to use a security plugin.

We have created iThemes Security Pro with a wide variety of tools, all focused on keeping your site secure.
● Strong Password Enforcement

Add another layer of protection to logins with Two Factor, using an app (like Authy, Google
Authenticator, or Toopher) or E-Mail.
● Malware Scanning
Know your site is safe with scheduled malware scanning, powered by Sucuri SiteCheck.
● Too Many to List
