Security is very important and a few companies like Google and Dropbox have two factor login security. If you don't use it you should.

How it works is you enter your password and then you enter a 6 digit code that changes every 30 seconds that is either sent to your phone by a SMS or it's generated via a mobile App. This means your account can't be compromised by phishing.

Today Authy released a Wordpress Plugin that allows you to have additional security on your own site which previously would have required large amounts of coding. The plugin is easy to install and the free version allows up to 1000 users 500 login's a day. As most wordpress sites have only a few admins at most this is more than enough for most sites so you should really consider adding it. I'll be adding it to all my clients Wordpress sites over the next few days as most are noobs and use stupid passwords.

This is an interesting idea, however this will only stop brute force attacks, you can still be hacked if you have security vulnerabilities present on your website so just keep that in mind and don't think this is the end all be all of security
