# How To: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

We strongly recommend that you protect your account using 2-factor authentication.

To get started you will need to have an authentication app installed on one of your mobile devices, we recommend using Google Authenticator for this, which can be [**downloaded here**](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2)**.**

Once you have this app installed, follow the simple steps below to set up and start using 2-factor authentication when logging into our hosting platform.

**Steps**

1\. The first step as always is logging in.\
Once you have been logged in, you will be transported to the platform.
