It will be a piece of information only the user should know or have immediately to hand such as a physical token or a random generated OTP (One Time Password).
OTP is a six numeric digit code_ that _generated by cryptographic functions_ in a short interval. Even if the hacker will get your Joomla administrator username and password, they would still require the OTP to logged in the system. If you want to enable the Two-Factor Authentication, it _requires Joomla 3.2.0 or higher version.

- 4. Enable the plugin by setting the “Status” toggle to “Enabled.”
- 5. Update the plugin configuration to enable 2FA for the backend only. This can be done in the “Basic Options” section.
- 6. Click “Save & Close” to save your changes.
- 7. Edit your user account in the “Users” section of the Joomla backend.
- 8. You will now have a new tab or options for Two Factor Authentication.
- 9. Enable 2FA for your user account. You may need to input a secret key or QR code provided by the 2FA method you set up.
- 10. After you save your user profile, it will give you a one-time emergency password for recovery purposes.
- 11. You can use the Google Authenticator app, Authy app, or Microsoft Authenticator app to set up 2FA.
- 12. Test your 2FA setup by logging out and attempting to log back in. Make sure to have your 2FA device ready.
- 13. Consider enabling 2FA for all users on your website for added security.
That’s it! You have successfully enabled and configured the Two Factor Authentication plugin for your Joomla CMS backend, providing an extra layer of security for your site.
