# Create 2FA for another User

 * Hello,
 * There does not seem to be an option for another user to set up their own Two 
   Factor Authentication on WordPress.
 * It seems that when that person logs in, they then have to go on Wordfence themselves
   and set up the 2FA.
 * I would preferably like to send them an email or a link so they can set this 
   up after they put in their username and password. So they can’t log into their
   account until they have set up 2FA.
 * Is this an option? As it seems unsafe for them to do it themselves, as they may
   not do it at all.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi [@raylur](https://wordpress.org/support/users/raylur/), thanks for getting
   in touch.
 * When setting up 2FA for a new user role in **Wordfence > Login Security > Settings**,
   you’ll need to set a lenient grace period if 2FA will be “Required” so that users
   have time to log in without and set it up themselves from their **Edit Profile**
   pages. If the 2FA will be “Optional” for their role, they can also set up 2FA
   from the same page, but optionally. Wordfence adds a **Login Security** section
   to this page to manage 2FA where they’ll be presented with the QR they need to
   get started.
 * There’s also further helpful information and a video here: [https://www.wordfence.com/help/login-security/](https://www.wordfence.com/help/login-security/)
 * Many thanks,
   Peter.

 * Hi [@wfpeter](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wfpeter/),
 * Thank you for your message.
 * I think you have slightly misunderstood. I am looking to provide Administrator
   role access to the website for a user, but before they log in and be able to 
   access the website, I need them to set up Wordfence 2FA – Exactly how it works
   when you set up a new Microsoft Outlook work email account, you cannot set up
   an email until you have set up 2FA via the Microsoft Authenticator App.
 * Under Login Security’ and then ‘Settings’ on WordFence, the Adminstrator role
   is set as Required, but I don’t want them to have a grace period, as I want them
   to set it up straight away.
 * Under the Grace Period section it says _‘This grace period will not automatically
   apply to admins and must be manually enabled for each admin user.’_ I don’t want
   this, as I would like them to set up 2FA before accessing the website.
 * Is this possible on WordFence?
 * Thanks!
