          <p>
--          The XWiki MFA / Two-Factor Authentication extension adds additional verification after the standard
--          XWiki username and password login. It strengthens account protection without replacing the familiar
--          XWiki authentication flow.
++          The XWiki Two-Factor Authentication extension adds an additional verification screen after the standard
++          username and password login. Users confirm their identity with a time-based one-time code generated by an
++          authenticator app, or with a verification code delivered by email.
          </p>
          <p>
--          The extension supports authenticator app codes using TOTP, email-delivered one-time verification codes,
--          and stricter configurations where both verification methods are required. This allows organizations to
--          choose between a simpler 2FA setup or a stronger multi-step MFA policy.
++          The extension is designed for organizations that want to improve account security while keeping authentication
++          close to the standard XWiki login experience. It also supports remembering trusted clients beyond the current
++          session, so users are not forced to enter a second factor again on every login from the same trusted browser.
          </p>
          <p>
--          Trusted clients can also be remembered for a configured period. In practice, this means that a known
--          browser or device can avoid repeated MFA prompts, while new or untrusted clients still require the
--          configured verification steps.
++          It can be useful for internal knowledge bases, intranets, documentation platforms, SOP systems, or other
++          XWiki environments where access to content and administration should be better protected.

--          Many organizations now need multi-factor authentication for enterprise software, including internal

--          For organizations using XWiki, adding MFA directly to the standard XWiki login flow can help close a
--          practical access-control gap. The extension can support simple 2FA with one additional verification method,
--          or a stricter MFA setup where both authenticator app and email verification are required.

--          This can be relevant for organizations preparing for NIS 2, where multi-factor authentication or
--          continuous authentication is part of cybersecurity risk-management measures, where appropriate.
--          MFA support in XWiki is only one part of a broader compliance and security program, but it can be an
--          important technical control for protecting access to the wiki.
