Two-Factor-Authentication
Introduction
Two factor authentication (2FA) is an additional security measure. Using two-factor authentication makes the account much more secure, since an attacker would need to know both the password and the second factor to gain access. Even if the password is compromised, the account remains protected as long as the attacker does not also have the second factor. This makes two-factor authentication an effective way to increase the security of accounts and personal information.
Enable authentication
To activate the Two-Factor Authentication you must click on your name and then on Security:
There you have to click on the Two-Factor Authentication. The following window will then open:
