I’ve been doing a bit of a personal security audit lately, and updating/resetting passwords and adding 2FA wherever I can. One of the things I was pleasantly surprised to see is that DokuWiki made it fairly straightforward to add 2FA to my wiki.

I was only interested in the Google Authenticator plugin module. After installing it, it worked like a charm. My login page now looks like this, and will not let me login without the 2FA code:
