(Placed this in Admin Tools because there is no LoginGuard section)

 

There used to be a section in the documentation on how to make 2FA only available to admin/backend users. I cannot find that instruction anymore.

How do I configure Loginguard so that is will not ask FE visitors for a 2FA registration?

Set “Disable TSV for these User Groups” to the groups you do NOT want to have LoginGuard available to them. In most cases you want to add Registered or whatever the default Joomla new user group is on your site. Just make sure that the user account you do want to have LoginGuard do not belong to that user group (if you have backend users they only need to belong to one of the backend groups).
