Two Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security while logging into your account on the TestingBot website. After entering the correct username and password, and if 2FA is enabled, TestingBot will send a unique code to your cellphone via SMS and will wait for you to input the correct Two Factor Authentication code you received. You will be logged in only when you input the correct code you received on your phone. Next to sending 2FA codes to your cell phone, you can also scan a [Google Authenticator](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en) QR code and use the Google Authenticator app to generate the correct 2FA code. You can enable this extra layer of protection by logging into your TestingBot account and navigating to [the user settings page](https://testingbot.com/members/user/edit).
