Two-factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication is designed to better protect your account. Instead of just relying on a

password and a time based PIN provided to you on your smartphone.
Google Authenticator
Google Authenticator is a free mobile application that allows you to generate 2-step verication
codes on your smartphone without a network connection.
Supported Devices
