# Two-factor Authentication (2FA)
|
||||
|
||||
Two-factor Authentication (2FA) provides an additional level of security to your
|
||||
GitLab account. Once enabled, in addition to supplying your username and
|
||||
password to login, you'll be prompted for a code generated by an application on
|
||||
your phone.
|
||||
|
||||
By enabling 2FA, the only way someone other than you can log into your account
|
||||
is to know your username and password *and* have access to your phone.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enabling 2FA
|
||||
|
||||
**In GitLab:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in to your GitLab account.
|
||||
1. Go to your **Profile Settings**.
|
||||
1. Go to **Account**.
|
||||
1. Click **Enable Two-factor Authentication**.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**On your phone:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Install a compatible application. We recommend [Google Authenticator].
|
||||
1. In the application, add a new entry in one of two ways:
|
||||
* Scan the code with your phone's camera to add the entry automatically.
|
||||
* Enter the details provided to add the entry manually.
|
||||
|
||||
**In GitLab:**
|
||||
|
||||
1. Enter the six-digit pin number from the entry on your phone into the **Pin
|
||||
code** field.
|
||||
1. Click **Submit**.
|
||||
|
||||
If the pin you entered was correct, you'll see a message indicating that
|
||||
Two-factor Authentication has been enabled, and you'll be presented with a list
|
||||
of recovery codes.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recovery Codes
|
||||
|
||||
Should you ever lose access to your phone, you can use one of the ten provided
|
||||
backup codes to login to your account. We suggest copying or printing them for
|
||||
storage in a safe place. **Each code can be used only once** to log in to your
|
||||
account.
|
||||
|
||||
If you lose the recovery codes or just want to generate new ones, you can do so
|
||||
from the **Profile Settings** > **Acount** page where you first enabled 2FA.
|
||||
|
||||
## Logging in with 2FA Enabled
|
||||
|
||||
Logging in with 2FA enabled is only slightly different than a normal login.
|
||||
Enter your username and password credentials as you normally would, and you'll
|
||||
be presented with a second prompt for an authentication code. Enter the pin from
|
||||
your phone's application or a recovery code to log in.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Disabling 2FA
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log in to your GitLab account.
|
||||
1. Go to your **Profile Settings**.
|
||||
1. Go to **Acount**.
|
||||
1. Click **Disable Two-factor Authentication**.
