147 147   <p>
148 - Two-factor authentication is especially relevant when XWiki contains internal documentation, procedures,
149 - customer information, project knowledge, administrative pages, or business-critical content.
129 + Many organizations need multi-factor authentication for enterprise software, including internal
130 + knowledge bases, intranets, documentation platforms and systems containing operational procedures
131 + or sensitive business information.
150 150   </p>
151 151  
152 152   <p>
153 - It is also useful when many users access the wiki remotely, when administrator accounts need stronger protection,
154 - or when the organization wants to reduce the risk of compromised passwords.
135 + For organizations using XWiki, adding two-factor authentication directly to the standard login flow
136 + can help close a practical access-control gap. It can be useful for administrator accounts, remote users,
137 + private knowledge bases and broader security readiness initiatives such as NIS 2 preparation.
155 155   </p>
139 +
140 + <p>
141 + This extension is not a complete compliance solution on its own, but it can provide an important
142 + technical control for protecting access to XWiki.
