Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring two or more methods to verify your identity. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up MFA on your account.
Step 1: Enable MFA
- Log in to your account.
- Navigate to the "Security Settings" section.
- Look for the "Multi-Factor Authentication" option and click "Enable."
Step 2: Choose Your Authentication Method
You can choose from several methods to authenticate your identity:
- SMS: Receive a one-time passcode via SMS to your phone.
- Email: Receive a one-time passcode via email.
- Authenticator App: Use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy to generate a one-time passcode.
- Security Key: Use a physical security key for authentication.
Step 3: Set Up Your Authentication Method
Follow the instructions provided to set up your chosen authentication method. For example, if you choose the SMS method:
- Enter your phone number.
- Click "Send Code."
- Enter the one-time passcode you receive via SMS.
Step 4: Verify Your Identity
After setting up your authentication method, you will be prompted to enter a one-time passcode to verify your identity. This passcode will be required every time you log in or perform sensitive actions on your account.
