# How to enable 2FA for Webmail

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

To secure your email account, you can enable two-factor authentication (2FA) from Webmail 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 Webmail and click the **Two-Factor Authentication** button.

*If when accessing Webmail you are redirected to the email account, click **Webmail Home** to reach the account settings page.*

Open the **Google Authenticator** app on your phone, scan the QR code on the screen, and the app will generate a six-digit code that you need to enter at **Step 2** in the **Security Code** field.
