How to set up two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication adds another layer of security to your account. 

What is two-factor authentication? 

To log in with two-factor authentication you will need to insert two forms of user identification. These include your password and a one-time security code that you can receive via text, e-mail or an authenticator app. 

What happens when it is set up? 

Once two-factor authentication is enabled, your login process will include a prompt to enter a one-time security code that you will receive from your chosen authentication method, after inserting your password.
