# Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

Add a 6-digit authenticator code to your sign-in for extra security.


Two-factor authentication adds a layer of security beyond your password. Once it's on, UiChemy requires a 6-digit code every time you sign in with email and password.

### Benefits

With it on, a stolen or guessed password alone isn't enough to get into your account, whoever's signing in also needs access to your email inbox. That's a meaningful step up if your UiChemy account holds paid credits, connected WordPress sites, or client projects.

### Turning it on

Go to **Account Settings**, scroll to **Two-Factor Authentication**, and click **Enable 2FA**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm your password" icon="lock">
    A dialog opens: **Enable two-factor authentication**. UiChemy will email a 6-digit code to your account email each time you sign in. Enter your password to confirm.
  </Step>
  <Step title="Click Enable 2FA" icon="shield-check">
    Click **Enable 2FA** in the dialog, or **Cancel** to back out.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Callout kind="tip">
Two-factor authentication applies to email and password sign-in. If you sign in with Google, Facebook, Posimyth Store, or a passkey, that provider's own security applies instead.
