How to use MFA with Single Sign-On (SSO) in WordPress?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA) on Single Sign-On (SSO) provides an additional layer of security to authenticate users to access the Service Provider. The miniOrange 2-Factor Authentication plugin provides TOTP/OTP based verification, Email or Phone verification methods after SSO. By adding 2FA, even if an attacker manages to steal or guess a user's password, they will not be able to access your website without also possessing the second factor.
Furthermore, 2FA can help to protect against various types of attacks, such as phishing, social engineering, and password spraying. These types of attacks can be particularly effective against SSO, as once an attacker has obtained a user's credentials, they can access multiple applications.
