## Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Your account can be protected with **two-factor authentication**. On top of your password, you then also enter a **six-digit code** from an authenticator app on your phone, so a leaked password alone is not enough to reach your installation.

{% hint style="warning" %}
We strongly recommend enabling 2FA for **every** user, and certainly for accounts with the **Installer** role: those accounts can change the configuration of an installation.
{% endhint %}

### Enabling 2FA

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your profile

Log in and open your **profile** settings, where the security settings of your account live.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Start the setup

Choose to enable two-factor authentication. The platform shows a **QR code**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Scan the code with an authenticator app

Scan the QR code with an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password or Bitwarden. The app then generates a new six-digit code every 30 seconds.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm

Enter the code the app shows to confirm the link. From then on, you enter a code from the app after your password on every login.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure you keep access to your authenticator app, and set it up on a device you actually keep. If you lose access to the app, you cannot log in yourself: access then has to be restored by Voltmasters Support.
{% endhint %}

### Logging in with 2FA

After your email address and password, the login page asks for the code from your authenticator app. See [Logging in](/voltmasters-platform/1.-navigating-the-platform/1.1-logging-in.md).

## 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.voltmasters.io/getting-started/account-registration-and-login.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.
