# Two Factor Authentication

Two Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to your WorkSmart account. If your Portal Admin has enabled Two Factor Authentication for your account, then you will have to verify yourself using a two step verification process :

1. The first step will verify your credentials as usual (username & password)
2. The second step, depending on your settings, will involve verification using an OTP code or using a Security Key.

You can setup your two step verification method using the following two methods :

* An OTP based code generation with [Authenticator App](https://www.worksmart.net/user-guides/my-account-profile/two-factor-authentication/authenticator-app-setup/).
* A FIDO U2F compliant hardware [Security Key](https://www.worksmart.net/user-guides/my-account-profile/two-factor-authentication/security-key-setup/).
