Ghost uses device verification and email 2FA for staff user login to Ghost Admin. 

When any staff user signs in to your Ghost Admin area from a new or unrecognized device for the first time, they will be required to enter a 6-digit 2FA code, sent to their registered email address. 

Site administrators can also configure Ghost to send email 2FA codes to staff users, as part of *every* staff user login, regardless of device.
