# Logging in with Two-Factor Authentication

## How to set up and use Two-Factor Authentication, if your organization requires it.

**Set up your Timescapes to log in with Two-Factor Authentication**

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) helps protect your account by making it more difficult for someone else to sign in to your account. It requires you use two different forms of identity: your password / SSO login, and a verification code, each time you sign in.

If your Company Administrator enables Two-Factor Authentication, you will be prompted to set up Two-Factor Authentication the next time you log in or accept an invitation:

**Enabling Two-Factor Authentication**

1. Click the invitation email from your Project Admin to create an account / set up Two-Factor Authentication on Timescapes 
2. Install an organization-approved authenticator app on your mobile phone, such as [“Microsoft Authenticator”](https://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/security/mobile-authenticator-app), [Google Authenticator](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid), or [Authy](https://authy.com/features/setup/).
3. Open the app and select ‘Add account’ or ‘scan QR code’
4. Scan the QR code on Timescapes from within the Authenticator App
5. Enter the 6 digit code in Timescapes. 
6. You’re set up! You’ll need that phone or device on you each time you log in.
