Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Enhance your account security by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), which requires an additional verification step beyond just a password.

Setting Up 2FA

Follow these steps to set up 2FA for your account:

1. Install a 2FA App:

   • Download a time-based one-time password (TOTP) generator app such as Google Authenticator.
   • Android: Google Authenticator on Google Play Store
   • iPhone: Google Authenticator on App Store

2. Access Account Settings:

   • Click on your name in the top right corner and select "Account".

3. Initiate 2FA Setup:

   • In the "Two-Factor Authentication" section, click "Add Two-Factor Authentication".

4. Add Account in 2FA App:

   • Open your 2FA app on your mobile device and choose to add a new account.

5. Scan QR Code:

   • Use the 2FA app to scan the QR code displayed on the screen.

6. Name Your Device:

   • Enter a brief name to identify your mobile device.

7. Verify Setup:

   • Enter the current code displayed on your device into the provided field.

8. Complete Setup:

   • Click "Verify" to finalize the process.

Once set up, you will be prompted to enter a 2FA code each time you log in, adding an extra layer of security to your account.

Why Enable 2FA?

• Enhanced Security: Protects your account from unauthorized access.
• Prevents Account Takeovers: Even if your password is compromised, a hacker cannot log in without the 2FA code.
• Industry-Standard Protection: Used by financial institutions, IT services, and security-conscious organizations worldwide.

By enabling Two-Factor Authentication, you significantly improve the security of your account and reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
