Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enhances security by adding a second step to the login process. It combines something that you know (for example, your password) with a second factor from an app from your phone. Requiring both to log in decreases the threat of a leaked password. To enable 2FA, first you need to already have or to install a **Time-Based Tokens **app on your phone. The common app is Google Authenticator, available for both Apple iOS or Android phones. With Time-Based Tokens, you enter a 6-digit code that regenerates every 30 seconds in addition to your regular username and password. Only your token device will have your secret key and be able to generate valid one-time passwords for your account.
