#### Log in with Two-Factor authentication

You can log in to your impact.com account securely by using two-factor authentication (2FA). You'll first have to enable 2FA in your security settings.

You'll be prompted to verify your identity via 1 of 3 methods, depending on which 2FA method you enabled for your account. If you enabled multiple verification methods, you can bypass the default method by selecting **Verify with other options**.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Authenticator app" %}
When logging in with this method, you will see the following:

1. Open the authenticator app you used [when setting up 2FA](/other/readme/enable-user-level-two-factor-authentication.md) for your account.
   * The app will generate a Time-based One-Time Password \[TOTP] for you.
2. Enter the TOTP as your verification code.
3. Optionally, select ![](/files/VU3nB0u8UaptmoDKgCqA) **\[Unchecked box]** **Save this device** if you don’t want to authenticate future logins from the device you're using.
4. Select **Verify**.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Text message" %}
When logging in with this method, you will see the following:

1. Check the mobile number you used [when setting up 2FA](/other/readme/enable-user-level-two-factor-authentication.md) for your account.
   * You will receive a text message via SMS with a unique verification code.
2. Enter the verification code.
3. Optionally, select ![](/files/VU3nB0u8UaptmoDKgCqA) **\[Unchecked box]** **Save this device** if you don’t want to authenticate future logins from the device you're using.
4. Select **Verify**.
   {% endtab %}

{% tab title="Email" %}
When logging in with this method, you will see the following:

1. Check the email address you used [when setting up 2FA](/other/readme/enable-user-level-two-factor-authentication.md) for your account.
   * You will receive an email with your unique verification code.
2. **Enter** the verification code.
3. Optionally, select ![](/files/VU3nB0u8UaptmoDKgCqA) **\[Unchecked box]** **Save this device** if you don’t want to authenticate future logins from the device you are using.
4. Select **Verify**.
   {% endtab %}
   {% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Each verification code is valid for 10 minutes, and any code received during this window can be used. If your code doesn't arrive immediately, please wait for the 30-second timer to expire before trying again.
{% endhint %}
