Are you excited to implement the new features that can boost the store’s performance and security?
Well, we are!
And as a part of it, here’s the method to set up two factor authentication in Magento 2.4.
Earlier, Magento 2 did offer an option to install two-factor authentication. The store owner can enable or disable the Magento 2 2FA as per the requirements. However, it is not best practice to disable Magento 2FA.
However, according to Magento 2.4 release notes, 2FA is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.
It is done so to make it harder for the spam users to log in to the admin panel without authority.
Security cannot be neglected when it comes to the online store and hence check the method to configure two-factor authentication in Magento 2.4 store.
