# Two-Factor Authentication (MFA)

> Add an extra layer of security with an authenticator app.

Two-factor authentication (MFA) adds a second step to sign-in: after your
password, you enter a one-time code from an authenticator app. This protects your
account even if your password is compromised.

## Enable two-factor authentication

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Security settings">
    In the sidebar, go to **Security** (`/settings/mfa`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the QR code">
    Open an authenticator app — such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft
    Authenticator — and scan the QR code. If you can't scan, enter the **Manual
    Entry Key** shown below the code instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the code">
    Type the 6-digit code generated by your authenticator app into the
    **Authentication Code** field.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable">
    Select **Enable MFA**. From now on, you'll be asked for an authenticator code
    each time you sign in.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Disable two-factor authentication

To turn MFA off, return to this page and select **Disable**.

<Warning>
  Keep your authenticator app safe. If you lose access to it while MFA is enabled,
  you may be locked out of your account. Consider keeping a backup of the manual
  entry key in a secure place.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  The manual entry key and QR code are unique to your account — never share them.
  (They are blurred in the screenshot above for that reason.)
