Two-factor authentication makes it so that logging in requires not only an ID and password, but also an authentication code that only you can use. Since this makes it impossible to log in with just an ID and password, it can strengthen the security of your account.

You can do this from your Account page.
Setting up two-factor authentication requires the use of a smartphone or tablet, and an authenticator app. Please have the app installed before beginning the setup process.
