== Overview ==
Add time-based one-time-password authentication to your own [[Concepts/User|user]] account.

== Pre-requisites ==
* You are signed in as yourself.
* You have an authenticator app and know your password.

== Steps ==
=== 1. Open security settings ===
On your profile, find '''Two Factor Authentication''' and select '''Enable two-factor authentication'''.

=== 2. Confirm password ===
Enter your current password and select '''Continue'''.

=== 3. Add the account ===
Scan the QR code in your authenticator app, or use '''Copy setup key'''.

=== 4. Verify ===
Enter the generated six-digit code and select '''Verify Code'''.

=== 5. Save backup codes ===
Copy, download, or print the backup codes, then select '''Done'''. Regenerating codes invalidates the old set.

=== 6. Disable later ===
From the same card, select '''Disable 2FA''', enter your password, and confirm.

== Expected Outcome ==
Care requests an authenticator code at sign-in and provides recovery codes.
