<h2>What is Two-Factor Authentication?</h2>
<p>
Two-Factor Authentication (or 2FA) is a security feature that can help to protect
your account in case somebody finds out your password. When logging in, you can
use an Authenticator App that will generate temporary one-time use codes to
log in to your account.
</p>
<p>
For example: if somebody figured out your username and password for {{PrettyTitle}},
they would be able to log in as you with that information. With 2FA you can add
a second factor to your login: the two factors are "something you know" (your password)
and "something you have" (your Authenticator App that produces six-digit codes).
This way, if somebody learns what your password is, they still can't log in to
your account unless they also have your Authenticator App.
</p>
<p>
After you set up 2FA, from the next time you log in to {{PrettyTitle}} with your
password, you will also be prompted to enter the six-digit code from your Authenticator
App. In case you lost access to your Authenticator, you will be able to use a
"Backup Code" to log in -- you will be able to see your Backup Codes after
setting up your Authenticator App.
