# How to enable/disable 2FA Security?

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) security adds an extra layer of security to your account. Whenever you want to log into your account on a new device, you'll be asked to provide a TOTP code from your authentication app.

***

## How to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

To enable 2FA, please carefully follow the steps below:

1. **Login** to your **Account**
2. Click on the **Settings** icon at the bottom of the side menu and select "***My Account***" to access your Profile page

4. An expanded window will appear. Read the instruction clearly and carefully. Proceed to **scan the QR code** shown to you using your **phone authentication app** (Google Authenticator or Authy) OR **copy the Setup Key** shown and enter it manually in your authentication app

5. Once you've scanned the QR code (or entered the Setup Key manually), your authentication app will **generate a 6 digit code** that repeatedly expires and refreshes within a short time frame. **Copy the 6 digit code** from your authentication app and paste into the assigned box. Then click "***Confirm***"

6. **Congratulations**! You've **successfully set up 2FA configuration** for your account. Whenever you want to log into your account on a new device, you'll be asked to provide a **TOTP code** from your authentication app.
7. Upon successfully setting up 2FA configuration for your account, you'll be presented with a set of **Recovery codes** (as shown in the image below). **Store the Recovery codes in a secure place**. They can be used to recover access to your account if your two-factor authentication device is lost
