2FA ( *Two-Factor Authentication *) is a security system that requires two steps to verify your identity when logging in or performing important actions. It helps protect your account from unauthorized access, even if someone obtains your password.

Instead of just asking for your password, we also ask for a second code that only you can generate or receive.

 

<span style="color: #403294">**How does it work?**</span>  
When you activate 2FA, in addition to your password, you'll need to enter a unique code generated by an app or received via notification. This code changes every few seconds.
