# Setting up 2FA (Two-factor Authentication)

How to setup 2FA for your Stackby Account

Stackby supports two-factor authentication (also known as 2FA or two-step authentication) as a security process in which users provide two different authentication factors to verify themselves.

Two-factor authentication adds a second level of authentication to your Stackby account login. So, in addition to your email/username and password, you (or anyone trying to log into your account) will need to have some extra information or a physical device of yours.  

To enable two-factor authentication on your Stackby account, go to your account page at [https://stackby.com/account](https://stackby.com/account). You can also access your account page by clicking on your user icon in the top right corner of the screen, then clicking the "Account" option from the dropdown menu.
