How to enable two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step at sign-in so a password alone is not enough to access your account.
#When to use this
Enable 2FA whenever you want stronger protection — especially for admin, CEO, or finance roles.
#Step by step
1
Open account security settings
Go to Settings and find the two-factor authentication option.
2
Start setup
Begin enabling 2FA and follow the on-screen instructions.
3
Confirm the second factor
Complete the verification step to activate 2FA on your account.
#Expected result
What you should see
After enabling, each sign-in asks for your second factor in addition to your password.
#Common mistakes
- Enabling 2FA without saving any recovery information.
- Assuming teammates are protected — each user enables 2FA on their own account.
#Troubleshooting
| If this happens | Try this |
|---|---|
| I am locked out after enabling 2FA | Contact an admin in your workspace or reach support to recover access. |
| The option is not visible | Confirm you are looking in your personal account settings, not organization settings. |
#Best practices
- Enable 2FA for every privileged account.
- Keep your second-factor device secure and available.
