# Enable and manage 2FA (two-factor authentication)

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your WorkEasy Software account by requiring both a password and a secondary verification method. This ensures your account remains protected even if your password is compromised. WorkEasy Software supports verification through an authenticator app and email codes, giving you flexibility and stronger protection against unauthorized access.

## Enable two-factor authentication

1. Navigate to **Global Settings > User Access > Two-Factor Authentication**.
