- Select User settings.
- Under Two-factor authentication, click Enable.
- Download an authenticator app on your phone such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.
- Scan the QR code shown on screen with your authenticator app.

From this point on, every login will require both your password and a code from your authenticator app.
