151 - Two-factor authentication is especially relevant when XWiki contains internal documentation, procedures,
152 - customer information, project knowledge, administrative pages, or business-critical content.
371 + For a smooth rollout, start with a small administrator or pilot group before requiring MFA for everyone.
372 + This helps validate the configuration, prepare user communication and reduce support issues.

154 154
