Why Use 2FA?
2FA is a security feature that requires two verification steps to log in:
1. Something you know (your password).
2. Something you have (a code generated by your phone or email).
This means even if someone steals your password, they still cannot access your account without the second authentication factor.
Benefits of 2FA:
- Stronger Account Security: Prevents unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.
- Protection Against Phishing: Stops attackers from using stolen credentials.
- Defense Against Bots: Prevents brute force or automated login attempts.
- Safeguards Personal Data: Protects your private messages, shared files, and collaborations.
1. Log In to Your Account:
Visit the forum and log in as usual.
2. Go to Account Settings:
• Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner.
• Select “Password and Security” from the dropdown menu.
3. Set Up 2FA:
• Under the “Two-Step Verification” section, click “Enable.”
• Choose your preferred 2FA method:
• Authenticator App (Recommended): Use apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator.
• Email Verification: A code will be sent to your registered email address.
4. Follow the Instructions:
• For authenticator apps:

5. Save Backup Codes:
After enabling 2FA, you’ll receive backup codes. Save these in a secure location in case you lose access to your 2FA device.

Once verified, 2FA will be active on your account. You’ll need to use your second authentication factor whenever you log in.
