# Two-Factor Authentication

For each ReadyMage account, it is possible to set up Two-Factor Authentication using the Authenticator app.

Two-Factor Authentication increases the security of your account by requesting to enter a code from your phone. Use the Authenticator app to get free verification codes, even when your phone is offline. Available for Android and iPhone.
