    Hi all, I installed Jetpack and followed the instructions in the link to set up two-factor authentication. Everything went well, and I have backup codes after finishing up the process. My question is how do I verify that two-factor authentication is working as advertised?

    https://wordpress.com/me/security/two-step

    My setup in Jetpack is listed below. However, when I log out and back in to WordPress, I am not being forced to use two-factor authentication.

    • Enabled – Allow users to log in to this site using WordPress.com accounts
    • Disabled – Match accounts using email addresses
    • Enabled – Require accounts to use WordPress.com Two-Step Authentication

    I want to be clear that I’m referring to using two-factor authentication for my WordPress.org account in the above post.

    Hello and Good morning. Based on my my first post on this topic.

    Can/Will someone/anyone tell me how do I verify that two-factor authentication is working as advertised?

    Hi there, @stemsrus,

    Thanks for your patience and for bearing with us; we’re working on a backlog of support requests at this time, and we generally answer in the order received.

    I see you linked the Two-Step Authentication page that refers to your WordPress.com/Jetpack account, while you later mentioned that you need that setup for your WordPress.org account. In that case, you may want to check this page instead.

    If you need to check on the Two-Step Authentication for your WordPress.com/Jetpack account, could you please post your site URL here or your WordPress.com username, so that we can have a look? If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via contact form. If you choose to reach out directly, please include a link to this thread. Thanks!
