This second step adds another layer of security as the user gets a newly generated code every time, the chances of having unwanted access reduce drastically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1662130636826\">How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>2FA works similar to your existing login procedure with the addition of a variable to be used with your user ID and password.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a mobile app like&nbsp;<strong>Google Authenticator<\/strong>&nbsp;or any&nbsp;<strong>Time-based One-time Password Algorithm<\/strong>&nbsp;(TOTP; specified in RFC 6238) allows you to generate a code each time you want to access your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1662130636835\">Why should you enable 2FA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended that you activate 2FA in order to mitigate the security risks of a password protected only account. Having a complex password (including capital letters, numbers, symbols) along with a \u201csingle-use code\u201d will protect your account from malicious or unwanted access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1662130636824\">How to enable 2FA for your account?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Log in to your control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Download the mobile application based on your phone\u2019s specifications:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Android:<\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&amp;hl=en\"><strong>Click Here to download!<\/strong><\/a><br><strong>iOS<\/strong>:&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/google-authenticator\/id388497605\">Click Here to download!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Head over to the 2FA Authentication section under your profile icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Click Enable 2FA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.
