# \[2FA] Two Factor Authentication Method

Enhance the security of your Shippify account with two-factor authentication (2FA). When you enable it, only you can log in, even if your password is compromised. Plus, you'll protect your information and transactions, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

You can use the Google Authenticator app to generate the tokens.

### Configuration

1. Go to your [user's security settings](https://dash.shippify.co/users/me/security), within this tab you will be able to see the Authentication Application check.

2. At the top of the QR we provide you with the download link for the Google Authenticator application, either for [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2) or [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/es/app/google-authenticator/id388497605) devices. Depending on your device, choose one and install the application on your device.

3. Open the app on your device and scan the QR code that appears on the dash. After that, a 6-digit code will be generated that will expire after a certain time.
