# Account & Security: Two-Factor Authentication

**We have implemented two-factor authentication (2FA) to further enhance security.** This additional protective measure requires a second confirmation step in addition to the password, making unauthorized access to accounts significantly more difficult.

Use the "Two-Factor Method" section under your user or author profile to enable and configure one or more two-factor authentication providers for your account:

- Email codes
- Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP)
- FIDO Universal 2nd Factor (U2F)
- Backup codes

### Recommended: authenticator app

One of the most secure methods for 2FA is using an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or Authy.

### How 2FA works with an authenticator app

1. **Enabling 2FA** — log in to your account settings, navigate to the "Security" or "Two-Factor Authentication" section, and select the option to use an authenticator app.
2. **Pairing the app** — download an authenticator app from the App Store or Google Play Store and scan the displayed QR code, or manually enter the provided code.
3. **Using the one-time codes** — once set up, the app generates a new six-digit code every 30 seconds. When logging in, enter the current code from the app after your password.
