37 <p>
Agnease 1.13 38 The XWiki MFA / Two-Factor Authentication extension adds additional verification after the standard
39 XWiki username and password login. It strengthens account protection without replacing the familiar
40 XWiki authentication flow.
Agnease 1.2 41 </p>
42
43 <p>
Agnease 1.13 44 The extension supports authenticator app codes using TOTP, email-delivered one-time verification codes,
45 and stricter configurations where both verification methods are required. This allows organizations to
46 choose between a simpler 2FA setup or a stronger multi-step MFA policy.
Agnease 1.2 47 </p>
48
49 <p>
Agnease 1.13 50 Trusted clients can also be remembered for a configured period. In practice, this means that a known
51 browser or device can avoid repeated MFA prompts, while new or untrusted clients still require the
52 configured verification steps.

190
191 <p>
192 Two-factor authentication is especially relevant when XWiki contains internal documentation, procedures,
193 customer information, project knowledge, administrative pages, or business-critical content.
194 </p>
195
196 <p>
Agnease 1.11 197 It can also support organizations that need MFA as part of their cybersecurity controls, including companies
198 working toward NIS 2 readiness. NIS 2 focuses on stronger cybersecurity risk management across essential and
199 important entities in the EU, and MFA is often expected as part of enterprise access protection programs.
200 </p>
201
202 <p>
Agnease 1.2 203 It is also useful when many users access the wiki remotely, when administrator accounts need stronger protection,
204 or when the organization wants to reduce the risk of compromised passwords.

227
228 <p>
Agnease 1.14 229 Many organizations now need multi-factor authentication for enterprise software, including internal
230 knowledge bases, documentation platforms, intranets and systems that contain operational procedures
231 or sensitive business information.
Agnease 1.11 232 </p>
233
234 <p>
Agnease 1.14 235 For organizations using XWiki, adding MFA directly to the standard XWiki login flow can help close a
236 practical access-control gap. The extension can support simple 2FA with one additional verification method,
237 or a stricter MFA setup where both authenticator app and email verification are required.
Agnease 1.11 238 </p>
239
240 <p>
Agnease 1.14 241 This can be relevant for organizations preparing for NIS 2, where multi-factor authentication or
242 continuous authentication is part of cybersecurity risk-management measures, where appropriate.
243 MFA support in XWiki is only one part of a broader compliance and security program, but it can be an
244 important technical control for protecting access to the wiki.
