Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an extra safety measure to protect your account. When 2FA is activated, you will have to verify every login attempt using the Google Authenticator app. Here's how to set it up.

1. Navigate to the top right corner of your Evercast dashboard on Google Chrome. Click the circle with three lines, then click 'Account.'
