Why We Use Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
At the Mindful Ecotherapy Center, your security is our priority.
We require Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to help protect your account and personal data, especially since our site involves sensitive information related to continuing education, certification progress, and payment details.
When you create a new account with us, you’ll have 30 days to set up your 2FA. After that time, you will be locked out of your account until you set up 2FA. THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR LOGIN DIFFICULTIES.
If you are locked out of your account for failure to enable 2FA, you will have to contact our technical support team to have your account reset. If this happens, please email support@mindfulecotherapy.com.
Here’s why 2FA is essential:
✅ Enhanced Account Security
Passwords alone are no longer enough. If someone guesses or steals your password, they could gain access to your account. 2FA adds a second layer of protection by requiring a unique, time-sensitive code generated on your device.
✅ Protects Your Certification Data
Your continuing education records, CEU certificates, and course history are valuable. 2FA helps ensure only you have access to your professional records and credentials.
✅ Prevents Unauthorized Access
Whether you’re logging in from your office, home, or a mobile device, 2FA ensures that even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure.
✅ Complies with Best Practices
As a provider of mental health and wellness education, we adhere to industry best practices for digital security. 2FA is now a standard measure used by universities, licensing boards, and healthcare organizations to protect user information.
We understand that 2FA adds a small extra step to logging in, but it provides a major boost in safety. Thank you for helping us maintain a secure and professional learning environment!

🔐 How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
To protect your account, we’ve enabled Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) using Wordfence Security. Follow these steps to set it up:
✅ Step 1: Install an Authenticator App
You’ll need an app that supports Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP). Here are some trusted options:
Google Authenticator
Authy (Recommended for backup & multi-device)
Microsoft Authenticator
LastPass Authenticator
✅ Step 2: Log in to Your Account
- Go to the login page of our website.
- Enter your username and password.
✅ Step 3: Go to Your Profile
- Once logged in, navigate to Profile (or “My Account” in the main menu).
- Scroll down to the Wordfence Login Security section.
✅ Step 4: Enable 2FA
- In the “Two-Factor Authentication” section, you’ll see a QR code and a manual key.
- Open your chosen authenticator app and scan the QR code, or enter the key manually.
- The app will start generating 6-digit codes every 30 seconds.
✅ Step 5: Activate 2FA
- Enter the 6-digit code from your app into the field labeled “Enter code from authenticator app.”
- Click Activate or Enable 2FA.
✅ Step 6: Save Your Backup Codes
- You’ll be shown a list of backup codes after enabling 2FA.
- Save them somewhere safe (not on your phone!) — you can use them if you lose access to your device.
