What is Two-Factor Authentication?

+ +

+ 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. +

+ +

+ 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. +

+ +

+ 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. +
