# 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.
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup

||||
|
||||
1. Open your [settings page](https://mastodon.social/settings/two_factor_auth) and navigate to the Two-factor Authentication page
