# Secure Your Account

Permission Slip supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) via authenticator apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password. When enabled, you'll need both your email code and your authenticator code to sign in.

## Enable MFA

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Security Settings">
    Click your avatar in the top-right corner to open the user menu, then select **Security**. The Security Settings dialog will open.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start MFA setup">
    If you don't have MFA enabled yet, the enrollment flow starts automatically. A QR code will appear on screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan the QR code">
    Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code. If you can't scan it, click **Can't scan this?** to reveal the secret key, which you can copy and enter manually.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify and enable">
    Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app and click **Verify & Enable**. MFA is now active on your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Signing In with MFA

After entering your email verification code, you'll see an additional prompt asking for your authenticator code. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app and click **Verify** to complete sign-in.

  If you lose access to your authenticator app, you won't be able to sign in. Make sure to store your backup codes or secret key in a safe place.
