126 XWiki Two-Factor Authentication adds MFA support to the standard XWiki login flow.
127 Users continue to sign in with their normal username and password, then confirm access

191 <p>
192 Many organizations use XWiki to store internal documentation, procedures, operational
193 knowledge and business-critical information. Adding a second authentication factor helps
194 reduce the risk of account compromise when a password is exposed or reused.
