**2-Factor Authentication (2FA) **adds extra security to your planeus account. 

# How It Works

- 2FA is a **global setting**, meaning it applies to **all users** in your planeus system.
- You can enable under **Administration > Settings > Security**.

# Setting Up 2FA

When 2FA is enabled:

1. **Register your account** the first time you log in.
2. Verify your **email address** during the registration process.
3. Connect your account to an **Authenticator app** (like Google Authenticator) to complete your 2FA setup.

Once this is done, you’ll be ready to log in securely with 2FA.
