Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) works by adding an additional layer of security to your Rounded account. To gain account access, it requires an additional login credential, beyond just the username and password.
The 2nd login credential can be created using an authenticator app or generating a code via SMS. This article will explain the available options and how to set them up based on what you prefer.
NOTE: The 2FA can only be enabled on the desktop for now.

1. Log in to Rounded and navigate to the security section by clicking Settings and then Account and security

3. Enter your password
