+# 2-Factor Authentication
+
+2-Factor Authentication is a security mechanism that requires you to enter a computer generated code from your phone every time you log into Mastodon.
+
+We highly recommend that you set up 2-factor authentication as it prevents malicious users from logging into your account if they obtain your password.
+
+## Warning
+
+If you lose access to your 2-factor authentication (such as by losing your phone or performing a factory reset) and you do cannot log in, you will not be able to access your account and will need to contact an instance admin to remove 2-factor authentication from your account.
