# How do I configure 2FA in Scribe? ### What is 2FA? \ 2FA, or Two-Factor Authentication, is like adding an extra lock to your front door. Normally, you'd use a password (the first 'factor') to access your online accounts. With 2FA, after entering your password, you're asked for a second piece of information, like a code sent to your phone. This means even if someone knows your password, they'd still need that second piece of information to get in, making your accounts much more secure. ### How does it work? You have two options. 1. Activate the 2FA option in your email provider (either Google Workspace or Microsoft 365). When your teammates log in to Scribe using Google or Microsoft 365 authentication, they will be prompted to enter the 2FA code. 2. 2FA can be purchased out of the box as a paid add-on.
