Agnease 6.11 108 XWiki Two-Factor Authentication adds MFA/2FA support to the standard XWiki login flow.
109 Users continue to sign in with their normal username and password, then confirm access with

Agnease 6.11 114 The extension supports authenticator app codes, email-delivered verification codes, or a combined

Agnease 1.18 167 <p>
Agnease 6.12 168 Many organizations need multi-factor authentication for internal tools, knowledge bases,

Agnease 6.11 171
172 <p>
Agnease 6.12 173 For XWiki, adding two-factor authentication directly to the standard login flow helps protect
174 administrator accounts, remote users, private knowledge bases and customer or partner portals.
