==What is Two-Factor Authentication?==
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
'''Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)''' helps protect your account with an extra login step. After your username and password, you'll enter in a code generated by an app. Having a strong password is good, but sometimes it's not enough. Attackers can still guess, steal or trick you into revealing your password. With 2FA, as long as nobody else has your device, you can be sure that no one else can log in, even if they steal your password.
</div>

<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
While Two-Factor Authentication helps keep your account secure, you should always ensure you are using a strong password that you don't use elsewhere.

#Go to the VRChat website and log in to your account.
#Click on the "Edit Profile" button at the top left next to the "Messages" button.
#Scroll down to the "Two-Factor Authentication" section, and click "Enable".
#Download any authenticator app. Authy is great it allows you to back up your accounts to their cloud using an encryption password, so your 2FA codes are safe. If you're worried about swapping devices or losing your phone, this is probably the best app to use.
#then click next
#Now you need to add your account to the authenticator app this is different on each app.
''If you are using Authy, click the three dots in the top right corner, select "Add Account," then scan the QR code on the website or choose "Enter key Manually" and input the code displayed.''
#The authenticator app should now show VRChat and a six digit code
#The VRChat website will now ask for this code, copy the code from the authenticator app and enter it into the VRChat website
#now click "Verify"
#If everything was done correctly, you will see a message saying, "You are protecting your account with an additional login step." If this is not the case, check the code again; it changes every thirty seconds. Also, make sure you typed the code correctly. On this screen, you'll also see some information about recovery codes. If you ever lose or damage your device, or otherwise can't get the authenticator codes, the recovery codes can help you log in.
