Yes — 2FA is included for free and is already part of BD’s built-in security for directory owners when logging into the Admin Area. No additional payment is needed for that.
We’re also exploring ways to bring 2FA to front-end members of directory sites. Our priority is to roll it out in a way that’s secure, smooth, and self-service — without causing login issues or added support for site owners. In the meantime, all logins are already encrypted and secure by default.
If you’d like to implement 2FA for members right now, there are also a couple of 3rd-party plugins available in the BD Marketplace:
• 🔐 Secure 2-Factor Authentication
