The login code for administrators

Administrators log in with a password and a code from an authenticator app on their phone. This protects your site even if your password ever leaks. Editors only need their password.

The first time you log in as an administrator:

1. Install an authenticator app on your phone, for example Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or the app of your password manager.
2. In the admin you see Set up the login code with a QR code. Scan it with the app. If scanning does not work, type the key shown under the QR code into the app.
3. Enter the 6-digit code the app shows and continue.
4. You now see Save your recovery codes. Write them down or store them in your password manager. Each code works once, and you see them only this one time. Click I have saved them.

From then on you enter a code from the app after your password each time you log in.
