'''NOTE: We highly recommend using this feature as it will help you to protect your account from intruders'''[[File:How to enable 2FA .png|thumb|How to enable 2FA ]]
To improve user security and protect against unauthorized intrusions, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) functionality was added to FOTA WEB.
This feature allows you to add [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/mobile-authenticator-app Microsoft Authenticator] or [https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DAndroid Google Authenticator] or any other authorization in addition to your existing password.
If 2FA is enabled, the user will not only have to enter the correct email and password, but also a unique code generated by the chosen authentication service to successfully log in.
==== Enable 2FA ====
To enable 2FA, select "Settings" -> "Security settings" and click "Enable" in the "Two-factor authentication" field.
