The Google Authenticator plugin for WordPress gives you two-factor authentication using the Google Authenticator app for Android/iPhone/Blackberry.
If you are security aware, you may already have the Google Authenticator app installed on your smartphone, using it for two-factor authentication on Gmail/Dropbox/Lastpass/Amazon etc.
The two-factor authentication requirement can be enabled on a per-user basis. You could enable it for your administrator account, but log in as usual with less privileged accounts.
If You need to maintain your blog using an Android/iPhone app, or any other software using the XMLRPC interface, you can enable the App password feature in this plugin, 
but please note that enabling the App password feature will make your blog less secure.

Google Authenticator

Personally I feel 2FA should be a part of WordPress core. But since it isn't, plugins like this one are a must-have to secure your sites.

The configuration interface is clearly layed out and the login page fits in perfectly with the default WP login page styling.

This plugin is light-weight, unobtrusive, free and adds that extra layer of security. Should your admin credentials ever be compromised, 2FA will keep your site secure.

Must-have security plugin

Awesome plugin, which is almost always in first group of plugin I've install on new website. Thank you for create and maintain it.
