# Multi Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an **extra layer of security** on top of your existing login method (OTP or password) in Leegality.

With MFA enabled, a user must have:

1. **Their existing login credentials** (OTP or password) **and**  
2. **A one-time passcode (TOTP)** generated by a third-party authenticator app.

This helps safeguard against unauthorised access — even if someone has your primary login credentials.

## How MFA Works

When you log into your Leegality account with MFA activated:

* After entering your **username** and **OTP/password**, you will be prompted to enter a **TOTP**.  
* The TOTP is generated by an authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator) on your phone.  
* Each code refreshes every **30 seconds** and is valid for **60 seconds**.

## How to Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

> **Info — Note**
>
> MFA is a *user-level setting*. Each user in your organisation must enable it individually.

1. Click the **gear icon** (top-right corner).  
2. Select **Settings → Profile** from the left-hand menu.

At the bottom of your profile page, you will find **Multi-Factor Authentication**.

3. Click the **Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication** button. A pop-up will guide you through setup.  
4. Install an Authenticator App. Recommended options: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or similar. Available on iOS and Android app stores.  
5. Open your authenticator app and scan the QR code shown in the setup pop-up. This links your Leegality account to your authenticator app.  
6. Enter the 6-digit code displayed in your authenticator app for Leegality: \[your email\].  
7. Click **Enable MFA**.

You have now activated MFA for your account.

## Logging in with MFA

Once MFA is enabled:

1. Enter your username and OTP/password as usual.  
2. A pop-up will appear asking for your TOTP.  
3. Open your authenticator app, find the Leegality entry, and enter the code displayed.

You will be logged in once the TOTP is verified.
