Enhance your WP Umbrella account security by enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in just a few clicks.

## Overview

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a layer of protection to your WP Umbrella account by requiring a second verification step when logging in. This prevents unauthorized access—even if someone gets hold of your password.

**Estimated Time to Complete:** Less than 2 minutes

**Prerequisites:** A registered [WP Umbrella](https://wp-umbrella.com/) account

## Steps to Follow

### Step 1: Navigate to Your Profile Settings

-   [Log in to your WP Umbrella](https://app.wp-umbrella.com/auth/signin) dashboard.
    
-   Click on **Your Profile** icon in the top-right corner of the screen and click **Profile**.
