# How to Manage Your Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

At Keep, your account security is our top priority. To provide the highest level of protection for your financial information, we have implemented a robust two-factor authentication (2FA) system. 

**This article explains why the new 2FA requirement is in place and guides you through the update process.**

**In This Article**

1. What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?
2. How Does Keep's 2FA Work?
3. How to change your 2FA method
4. Protecting Your Verification Codes
5. Troubleshooting Common 2FA Issues

### **What is Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?**

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is an additional security measure that requires you to verify your identity using two distinct factors:

1. **Something you know** (e.g., your password)
2. **Something you have** (e.g., a code sent to your mobile device)

This process ensures that only you can access your account, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

### **How Does Keep's 2FA Work?**

1. **Log in with your credentials:** Enter your usual login details.
2. **Verify your identity:** A code will be sent to the mobile device linked to your Keep account. Enter this code to complete the login process.

#### **Important Notes:**

1. **Verification codes are valid for 5 minutes.**If your code expires, click **“Resend Code”** on the login screen to request a new one. Make sure your mobile device is connected and able to receive SMS messages.
2. **Remember This Device:**Select **“Remember this device for 30 days”** during login to avoid being prompted for verification on that device for the next 30 days.

*Refer to the image below for both options: the* ***“Resend Code”*** *and the* ***“Remember this device”*** *checkbox.*

### **How to change your 2FA method**

5. Click on **Set Up 2FA.**
6. Choose between **SMS** or **Email** verification.
7. Enter your phone number or confirm your email.
8. Enter the **4-digit verification code** sent to your chosen method.
9. Once verified, click **Continue** to complete the setup.
10. You can update this method anytime by returning to **Settings \> Security**.

### **Protecting Your Verification Codes**

To ensure the safety of your account, **never share your verification codes with anyone**. Keep's support team will **never ask for your login verification code**. If someone contacts you requesting this information, it could be a phishing attempt from someone pretending to be a Keep employee.

If you receive a request to share a Keep verification code, do not respond.

### **Troubleshooting Common 2FA Issues:**

- **I didn't receive the 2FA code:** Ensure your mobile device has connectivity. If the problem persists, request a new code or contact Keep's customer support at support@keep.com.
- **Lost device used for 2FA:** Contact Keep's customer support immediately at support@keep.com to secure your account and update your 2FA settings.
