How to enable two-factor authentication on my account?
Updated over a week ago

Enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) is an excellent way to enhance the security of your online accounts. It adds an extra layer of protection by requiring not only your password but also a secondary form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone or generated by an authenticator app.

It's important to note that every website and service may have a slightly different process for enabling 2FA. Therefore, for the most accurate instructions tailored to the specific platform you're using, it's best to navigate to their guide or support section on their website.

However, here are general steps you can follow to enable 2FA on many platforms:

  1. Login to Your Account: Access your account using your username and password.

  2. Navigate to Security Settings: Look for a section in your account settings related to security, privacy, or login options.

  3. Find Two-Factor Authentication: Within the security settings, there should be an option to enable two-factor authentication. It might be labeled as "Two-Step Verification," "Two-Factor Authentication," or simply "Security."

  4. Select Enable: Click on the option to enable 2FA.

  5. Choose Verification Method: Typically, you'll have a choice receiving verification codes using an authenticator app.

  6. Follow Setup Instructions: They should provide you with a QR code which you can scan inside our Authenticator app

  7. Verify Your Identity: Once you've provided the necessary information, you may need to verify your identity one last time.

  8. Complete Setup: Follow any additional prompts to complete the setup process.

  9. Confirm Setup: After enabling 2FA, the system may ask you to enter a verification code to confirm that it's working correctly. When they ask you for the verification code, it is the 6-digit code that is shown in our app.

By following these steps, you can add an extra layer of security to your account and better protect your personal information from unauthorized access.
