# Enabling Two-Factor Authentication on ExoClick Accounts

**Two-factor authentication (2FA)** is a highly efficient way to secure your accounts and digital assets. It works like an extra layer of security to better protect both user’s credentials and the resources that the user can access. If you enable 2FA, you will be asked for two things when you log into your ExoClick account: a **password** (something you know) and a **second factor**, such as a one-time passcode via SMS sent to your mobile phone (something you own).

In order to enable 2fa in your ExoClick account, click on your **Username** in the top-right corner of the Admin panel, then click again to access your **Account Details**

![account\_details](/files/0bdb22c0770610ffc1954c91aed823d08e417984)

At the bottom of the page corner, under the **Security** section, you will find the **Two-Factor Authentication** section:

![2FA\_settings](/files/a11a9208efb23e31e956dff3cafc843063068869)

You can choose 2 different options of 2fa: via **Authentication app** or via **SMS Authentication**.

## Via Authentication app

Click **Enable** and **scan the QR code with your authentication app**. If the QR code doesn't work, you can add the authentication code manually. After adding ExoClick to your authentication app, add the **6-digit code** provided by the authentication app and click **Next**.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: You can also set it as your primary authentication method by checking the box.
{% endhint %}

2FA will be enabled in your account. From now on, you will need your authentication app in addition to your password in order to log in to ExoClick.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: You can **use the Authentication app if multiple users need to connect**. An example of authentication app is the [Google Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2\&hl=en)
{% endhint %}

## Via SMS

Click **Enable** and **add your phone number**. Make sure that you add the appropriate phone prefix for your country:

![phone number](/files/885b7493ff1460414dca9631ffbe1a27b477b0a5)

After clicking **Next**, you will be asked to confirm 2FA by adding a **6-digit code** sent to your phone:

![sms](/files/d5800f1bb0885c88f19c7d0ee564e66d33f89a8f)

2FA will be enabled in your account. From now on, you will need to provide not only your password but also the 6-digit token sent to your phone in order to login to ExoCLick.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note**: You can have both 2FA methods enabled in your account. However, **only one of them** will be requested for each login attempt. You can determine which method will be requested using the **Set as Primary Authentication method** checkbox or by clicking on the **Set as Default** link.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.exoclick.com/exoclick-docs/enabling-two-factor-authentication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
