Two factor authentication, or 2FA for short, gives an extra layer of security to your account, requiring you to enter a code as well as your password
when you log on. This is a proven security enhancement as attackers must now have access to the device you have marked as trusted.
This article will go over how to enable 2 factor authentication as well as the various other features associated with it.

30 seconds for accessing your account.

Backup Codes

keep them in a secure but accessible place. To do this press ‘view backup codes’ on the account page and enter your details. You can then
download them by pressing the ‘Download Backup Codes’ button, you can also regenerate them at any time by clicking ‘Regenerate codes’
