Wix 2-step verification (2FA/MFA)
Wix 2 Factor Authentication is an additional layer of security in which a user is prompted to provide two factors to gain access to the Wix account. With Wix 2FA being enabled, anyone trying access your Wix account from an unrecognized computer/device must provide additional authorization. Authentication starts with a user submitting his traditional username and password. Once the user successfully gets authenticated with the 1st step verification, configured 2FA (OTP verification, Push Notifications, YubiKey, TOTP, Google Authenticator etc) method prompts for 2nd-step verification.
