# How to enable 2FA for the client area

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is much more secure than password-only authentication. Users will need to install an app on their smartphone and use it every time they log in to Webmail.

To secure your client account at [my.host-age.ro](https://my.host-age.ro), you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) from the client interface using the free [Google Authenticator](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en) app available for [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/en/app/google-authenticator/id388497605) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2&hl=en).

First, log in to the client interface at [my.host-age.ro](https://my.host-age.ro) and click the **Two-Factor Authentication** button.

A QR code will appear on the new page, which you must scan with the Google Authenticator app installed on your smartphone.

After scanning the QR code, a new entry and a general code valid for 60 seconds will appear in the app on your smartphone.

Click the **Continue** button.
