# Enable Two-Factor Authentication in Neevcloud Account

### **Enable two-factor Authentication** <a href="#enable-two-factor-authentication" id="enable-two-factor-authentication"></a>

**Two-factor authentication (2FA)** adds an extra layer of security to your Ubuntu system by requiring two forms of identification before granting access. In addition to the usual username and password, 2FA requires an additional piece of information, such as a one-time password (OTP) generated by an authenticator app.

**Recommended apps**

* [Parichay Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nic.parichayauthenticator)
* [FreeOTP for Android](https://totp.neevcloud.com/releases/freeotp.apk)
* [Google Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.authenticator2)
* [Microsoft Authenticator](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.azure.authenticator)

First, install a TOTP authenticator app on your mobile device.
