Two-factor authentication, also commonly referred to as 2FA is an optional feature for extra-strong security. It adds another layer of security to your account so if compromised or stolen, only you can log in.

STEP 1 — Go to your Account Settings and scroll down to Account Security.

You will see if it is enabled or disabled in the brackets

STEP 2 — Click "Enable Two-factor Authentication" to open a pop-up window,

STEP 3 — Scan the barcode with your application

STEP 4 —  Enter the six-digit code from the application (After scanning the barcode image, the app will display a six-digit code that you can enter below)

STEP 5 —  Save the codes by downloading them in TXT format, printing or/and copying them to the clipboard.

Recovery codes should be only used to access your account in the event you cannot receive two-factor authentication codes from your app.
