# Setting up two factor authentication for UPPMAX

## Why
Two factor authentication (abbreviated to '2FA')
increases the security of your UPPMAX account
and is mandatory is multiple contexts.

For security reasons you will have to use a two factor authentication system
if you are a) connecting to UPPMAX from outside of Sweden, or b) connecting
from a network within Sweden that does not support forward and reverse DNS
lookups (due to a misconfiguration in your network, you can ask your
internet service provider about this). More information about why can be
found [here](why_2fa.md).
???- question "Why is this important?"

See [Why is 2FA important?](why_2fa.md)

This page describes how to set this up.

## Procedure

???- question "Prefer a video?"

Watch [the YouTube video 'Get your UPPMAX 2FA'](https://youtu.be/eSn0kLkU5Dc)


By requiring a second factor, typically a cell phone or other physical device, it becomes much harder for an attacker to gain access to your account if they somehow have gotten hold of your password (which in this case is the 1:st factor). Instructions to set this up follows below.
