    I switched to MODX because of a WordPress vulnerability that led to my web hosting account being hacked and all my sites taken offline. (My host over two weeks to restore my files - so I have a new web host as well!) So security was foremost in my mind and I did my homework before switching to MODX. 2FA was a big feature for me - this page says, "Architected for security—Two Factor Authentication (2FA) Extras to enhance it" -- and now that I've switched, I can't seem to find any way to enable 2FA. All I've found are a couple of extras - one of which doesn't work for Manager and the other doesn't seem to work at all. What am I missing?

      Hi Don Ferris,
      You can secure a MODX installation easily with this two step!
      1. Make sure your MODX is up to date. Like this, there no security breach!
      2. Change the manager folder name. Like this no robot will find your manager login form!
      Forget your experience with WordPress! Without doing this two step, none of my MODX installation have been hacked. Wordpress is the first CMS that hackers try to hack, because a lot of websites are made with WordPress.

      I hope this help.
