# Multi-factor authentication
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), also known as Two Factor Authentication (2FA), enhances your account security by requiring more than just a password to log in.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How to enable MFA
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
- Go to the **Multi-factor authentication** section
|
||
|
|
- Click the link to **Enable Multi-Factor Authentication**
|
||
|
|

## How to disable MFA

## Recovery codes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you enable MFA, Joplin Cloud will show you a list of codes that you should save somewhere safe. Each code can only be used once but you can generate new codes from your profile page.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you cannot generate your authentication codes because you have lost access to your smartphone, for example, you will need to use one of the recovery codes to login.
|
||
|
|
|

|
