# 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
|
||||
|
||||
- [Access your profile](https://joplincloud.com/users/me)
|
||||
- Go to the **Multi-factor authentication** section
|
||||
- Click the link to **Enable Multi-Factor Authentication**
|
||||
- Follow the instructions shown in the page
|
||||
|
||||
## How to disable MFA
|
||||
|
||||
- [Access your profile](https://joplincloud.com/users/me)
|
||||
- Go to the **Multi-factor authentication** section
|
||||
- Click the link **I want to disable it** and follow the instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## 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.
|
||||
|
||||
## I forgot to copy my recovery codes, how do I find them?
|
||||
|
||||
- [Access your profile](https://joplincloud.com/users/me)
|
||||
- Go to the **Multi-factor authentication** section
|
||||
- Click the **Recovery codes** link
|
||||
- Follow the instructions shown in the page
|
||||
|
||||
## How do I generate new recovery codes?
|
||||
|
||||
- [Access your profile](https://joplincloud.com/users/me)
|
||||
- Go to the **Multi-factor authentication** section
|
||||
- Click the **Recovery codes** link
|
||||
- After finishing the process you should see your list of recovery codes and a button at the bottom to generate new codes
|
||||
|
||||
> The new codes will invalidate the old ones, so remember to save them.
|
||||
|
||||
## How to login with my recovery code
|
||||
|
||||
- Proceed to Joplin Cloud login page and follow the usual login process
|
||||
- When prompted for an authentication code click in the link **Use a recovery code** bellow the input field
|
||||
- Add your code to login
