# MFA setup

> Add an extra layer of security to your account with multi-factor authentication.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) keeps your account secure even if your password is ever compromised. Once enabled, logging in requires both your password and a one-time code from your authenticator app.

***

### What is MFA?

MFA — also called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) — requires two forms of verification to log in:

1. **Something you know** — Your password
2. **Something you have** — A code from your authenticator app

This means that even if someone gets hold of your password, they still can't access your account without the second factor.
