# Turn on two-step verification

A code from your phone after the password, so a leaked password alone cannot open your account.

## Steps

1. **Open your account settings** Choose your avatar at the top right, then Account settings, and go to Two-step verification.
2. **Scan the code** Confirm your password, then scan the QR code with an authenticator app, or type the key.
3. **Confirm with a code** Enter the six-digit code the app shows.
4. **Keep the backup codes** Save them somewhere safe. Each one works once if you lose your phone.

Lost your phone? Log in with a backup code, then set up two-step verification again with the new phone.
