# Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication
PlexTrac enables two-factor authentication at the account level and is managed on the **Two-Factor Authentication** tab of the **Personal Settings** page. Two-factor authentication is a security measure that requires users to provide two forms of identification to access an account or system.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security measure that significantly protects against unauthorized access to sensitive information and accounts. It works by adding an extra layer of verification to the traditional password or PIN login process. When users log in, they must provide their regular credentials, such as a username and password, and a second form of authentication.
The second authentication factor can take various forms, such as a unique code sent to the user's mobile device via SMS or generated by an authentication app, a fingerprint or facial recognition scan, a hardware token, or even a one-time password sent to an email address. The significance of 2FA lies in its ability to counteract the vulnerabilities of using passwords alone.
