Only as a selfmate. K+ 2 knights cannot force a mate.

SELFMATE: black assists white into mating black.

Yes, as noted, 2 Knights can't force checkmate. Surprisingly, 2 Knights might be able to force checkmate if the opponent has one pawn advanced to specific locations. Lookup Troitsky Line. Although sometimes possible, a lot of precise technique is required to convert.

It is possible to checkmate with 2 knights but you can’t force a mate.

this is how knights do checkmate

what you need to use is 3 knights to checkmate

As stated above two Knights can often force the checkmate if the enemy has a pawn. The point is that the pawn makes it possible to 'stalemate' the King before the mate.
