 * Hi, I want to set up 2FA for admins. We have 3 people that use one admin account
   but when I set up 2FA with the QR code, it seems only one person can have access
   to the login code as the QR code disappears once activated. Is there a way to
   allow all three users to log in to the same admin account? Hope that makes sense!
 * Thank you.

 * Hi [@thevapourroomltd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thevapourroomltd/),
   thanks for your question.
 * In theory, if you were able to screenshot the QR code for the other 2 users to
   scan, check you’re all getting the same codes in your apps, then verify it in
   Wordfence with 1 user as normal, all 3 should be able to access. You can disable
   2FA for the account and start again if that’s the route you want to take.
 * From a security and auditing standpoint, I would always recommend individual 
   admin accounts for the 3 users. If you did want to implement this, you can create
   the admin accounts in WordPress normally, then set **Wordfence > Login Security
   > Settings > 2FA Roles** to “**Required**” for administrators and set a grace
   period that allows all users to log in with username/password and set up their
   own 2FA.
 * Thanks,
   Peter.
