# Two Factor Authentication

## Problem:

Logging into web pages on public or non-secure PCs can pose a security risk as usernames and passwords can be tracked by keyloggers. As a precaution, it is advisable to enable two-factor authentication in XEOX.

## Solution:

By using an SMS TAN, you can enhance the security of your web front-end login.

The first step is to click on your useremail and select account.

Once you are on the account page, switch tabs to **Security & Login** and click on **Enable two-factor authentication**

This will redirect you to a page akin to the XEOX login page, where you have to re-authenticate yourself with your password.

Enter the one-time code and click **Submit**. If everything worked correctly, two factor authentication should have an entry in **Security & Login**. Next time you enter, you will need the code from the two factor authentication app.
