The Two Factor plugin from the WordPress Core Two-Factor Auth team stores its state in usermeta. _two_factor_enabled_providers holds the list of enabled providers for a user, _two_factor_provider stores the primary, and per-provider keys hold secrets like the TOTP shared key in _two_factor_totp_key and recovery codes in _two_factor_backup_codes. The system is solid. The hard part is getting non-technical users through setup the first time.

SleekAI maps the non-secret pieces, enabled providers, primary provider, and recovery code count, as prompt variables. The bot can tell a user that TOTP is enabled but no recovery codes have been generated, that email-based authentication is available as a fallback, and walk them through scanning a QR code into Google Authenticator or 1Password without the admin holding their hand. Display conditions scope the bot to logged-in users and conversations log model, tokens, and origin.

Generic chatbots send users to generic 2FA documentation. They do not know which providers the site enabled, they do not know whether the user already configured TOTP, and they have no idea about recovery codes specific to this plugin. A SleekAI bot reads the user's actual state, so the next step is always the right next step.

The Two Factor plugin maintained by the WordPress Core Two-Factor Auth team is the most trustworthy 2FA option in the ecosystem. It is small, well-audited, and supports TOTP, email, WebAuthn, FIDO U2F, and recovery codes. The trade-off is that it relies on the WordPress profile screen for setup, and most users only do this once.

By the time they need to do it again, they have forgotten the steps. A generic chatbot makes the gap worse. It sends users to generic Google 2FA documentation, recommends apps the user might not have, or assumes a different plugin's UI.

The user gets stuck and either gives up or pings support. SleekAI fixes this by reading the user's actual 2FA state. The bot knows which providers your site enabled and which the user has configured.

It can warn when recovery codes are missing, which is the single biggest cause of lockouts later on. It points to the right toggle on the right screen, and never invents methods that are not enabled. Security stays clean.

The bot does not read secrets, only flags. It cannot enable 2FA on a user's behalf, since that requires confirming a code the user typed. The guideline filter blocks credentials and codes from appearing in chat.

Conversations log model and token usage per call, so the team can prove out cost against onboarding completion rates.
