How to Setup Email Verification for WordPress 2-Factor Authentication?

The email verification method for two-factor authentication (2FA) sends a transaction link to the user’s registered email when they attempt to log in to their WordPress account. This email includes options to “Accept” or “Deny” the transaction. Clicking “Accept” allows the login to proceed, while selecting “Deny” blocks it. This ensures that only the registered email owner can authorize access, enhancing security.
