4. Click on the *Generate Secret Key to enable the 2FA * - button to Generate a Unique secret QR code for your profile.

5. Scan the provided QR code with the 2FA authenticator app of your choice and enter the generated code from your app.

Some common authenticator apps that can be found in your mobile device app store:

• Google Authenticator
• LastPass Authenticator

6. Enter your one-time password and click Verify.

You are done!
