🛡️ Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

What is 2FA?

Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring:

  1. Something you know (password)
  2. Something you have (phone/authenticator app)

Setting Up 2FA

Step 1: Enable 2FA

  1. Go to Profile > Security Settings
  2. Find "Two-Factor Authentication"
  3. Click "Enable 2FA"

Step 2: Choose Authentication Method

Authenticator App (Recommended)

  • Google Authenticator
  • Authy
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • 1Password

SMS Text Messages

  • Receive codes via text
  • Requires phone number
  • Less secure than authenticator apps

Step 3: Set Up Authenticator App

  1. Download an authenticator app
  2. Scan the QR code with your app
  3. Enter the 6-digit code from your app
  4. Save your backup codes
  5. Click "Enable 2FA"

Step 4: Save Backup Codes

Your 2FA Backup Codes
Save these codes in a safe place!

1. 123456
2. 789012
3. 345678
4. 901234
5. 567890

Each code can only be used once.

Important:

  • Store backup codes securely
  • Each code works only once
  • Use if you lose your phone
  • Generate new codes periodically

  2. You'll see the 2FA prompt
