# Setting up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

> Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your Vero account.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a common way to add an extra layer of security on you account. If 2FA is enabled on your account, during login you will be asked to enter a generated code (one time code) to complete authentication.

To use 2FA you will need a One Time Code generator such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or One Time Password.

**How to setup 2FA**

To enable 2FA on your account, navigate to the [security settings](https://app.getvero.com/account/security "Account security page in Vero") page and click on *Enable Two-Factor Authentication*.

1. Scan the QR code with your chosen one time code generator app.

In the next step, you will be shown a list of recovery codes. Keep a record of these recovery codes in a safe place, these codes can be used to gain access to your account in the case that you cannot use a One Time Code. Hit the *Return to security settings* button to continue.

2 Factor Authentication is now setup on your account. Next time you login, after you enter your email and password, you will be asked to enter a One Time Code, generated by your chosen app. Simply open your One Time Code generator app, enter the generated code before the timer ends and hit *Submit*.

**Using 2FA with a Google login**

If you login using a Google account, you can setup 2FA on your [Google account settings](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839).
