Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your client area. It combines your password (something you know) with a token from your device (something you have), so even if someone gets your password, they still can’t log in without the token.

Steps to Activate 2FA:

  1. Download Google Authenticator (iOS or Android). Other options like Duo Mobile also work.
  2. Log in to your client area, click your name at the top right, then go to Security Settings.

7. Save the backup code in a secure location in case you lose access to your 2FA device.
