| About two-factor authentication | {% data reusables.two_fa.about-2fa %} With 2FA, you have to log in with your username and password and provide another form of authentication that only you know or have access to. |
|
|
For {% data variables.product.product_name %}, the second form of authentication is a code that's generated by an application on your mobile device{% if currentVersion == "free-pro-team@latest" %} or sent as a text message (SMS){% endif %}. After you enable 2FA, {% data variables.product.product_name %} generates an authentication code any time someone attempts to sign into your {% data variables.product.product_name %} account. The only way someone can sign into your account is if they know both your password and have access to the authentication code on your phone.
{% data reusables.two_fa.after-2fa-add-security-key %}
You can also configure additional recovery methods in case you lose access to your two-factor authentication credentials. For more information on setting up 2FA, see "Configuring two-factor authentication" and "Configuring two-factor authentication recovery methods."
We strongly urge you to enable 2FA for the safety of your account, not only on {% data variables.product.product_name %}, but on other websites and apps that support 2FA. You can enable 2FA to access {% data variables.product.product_name %} and {% data variables.product.prodname_desktop %}.
For more information, see "Accessing {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} using two-factor authentication."
