# Setting up 2-FA

## Why should you set up 2-FA on your client account?

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection to your client account. Even if someone obtains your password through data breaches, phishing attempts, or other means, they still cannot access your account without the second authentication code from your phone or an authenticator app.

With access to your client account, bad actors can view billing information, access support tickets containing sensitive details, and most critically — directly access your servers control panels through the built-in automatic log in function. When you set up 2FA, even if your password is compromised, attackers still can't access your account or gain the direct panel access it provides.

## How to set up 2-FA on your client account at Synteq?

### 1. Log in, and go to your security settings

Start by logging into [https://get.crunchbits.com](https://get.crunchbits.comhttps//get.crunchbits.com), then clicking on your name in the right top corner \[1], and then clicking on `Security Settings`.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.synteq.com/client-portal/account-management/setting-up-2-fa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
