In order to improve user security and protect against unauthorized intrusions, FOTA has added the Two-factor authentication (2FA) feature.
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] 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.
After that, the user will see a window where links to authorization methods will be provided, by clicking on which the user can get detailed instructions on how to work with them.

After pressing the button "Continue" the user should scan the displayed QR code with the help of a phone and enter the code provided by the authorization service.
'''NOTE: If you are unable to scan the QR-code, click on "Click here to manually type the code instead". FOTA will give you the opportunity to enter the code into the authorization service manually.'''
After clicking on the "Verify" button, if the code is correct, FOTA will notify the user that the 2FA has been successfully activated. Otherwise, it will inform the user that the code is not correct.
In addition, the user will receive an email from [email protected] stating that two factor authentication has been successfully enabled.

Now, in order to log into the account, the user, in addition to the standard login and password, will need to verify himself with a 6-digit code generated by an authorization service (Microsoft or Google, depending on the initial choice)
==== Disable 2FA ====
To disable the 2FA function, just go to Settings" -> "Security settings" and click "Disable" in the "Two-factor authentication" field. The user will see a warning about disabling 2FA and after confirming the selection, two-factor authentication will be disabled. The user will also receive an email informing them that 2FA has been disabled.
'''NOTE: in case of password change, 2FA will be automatically disabled'''
