This plugin gives you the ability to disable specific user accounts via a profile setting.
Once installed and activated, a checkbox appears on the user profile settings (only for admins). When checked, the user’s account will be disabled and they will be unable to login with the account. If they try to login, they are instantly logged out and redirected to the login page with a message that notifies them their account is disabled.
This can be useful in a few situations.
<ul>
<li>You want freelance writers to still show up in the authors box, but you don’t want them to be able to login.</li>
<li>You have former employees who have authored posts and you don’t want to delete them or reassign their posts to other users, but still need them to show up in the “Authors box.”</li>
<li>You are working on a site for a client who has an account, but do not want him to login and/or make changes during development.</li>
<li>You have a client who has an unpaid invoice.</li>
</ul>

This is probably the 2FA plugin you’re looking for.
Secure, private, and lightweight.
Integrates into WordPress like a native feature.
<h4>Proactive vs Reactive Security</h4>
Prevents attacks instead of reacting to them. The best breach is the one that never happens.
<h4>How it Works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the plugin</li>
<li>Go to Users > Profile > Two-Factor Authentication (near the bottom)</li>
<li>Check the box next to “Enable 2FA” and click “Update Profile”</li>
<li>2FA and Backup Codes are now enabled</li>
<li>Scan the QR code or manually enter the secret key into your auth app of choice (and be sure to rename the generic site name “2FA” to something more useful)</li>
<li>Once successful login with a 2FA code from your app has been confirmed, you should disable Backup Codes</li>
<li>Brute force protection is enabled by default and can be managed site-wide by admins in profile settings</li>
</ol>
Backup Codes have been rethought from the usual method you might be used to. Read more about that in the FAQ below.
