# Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

## Individual users can activate Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to protect their accounts from unauthorized access. Users can use a 2FA app of their choice on their mobile phone or tablet.

*\*This feature is available for users who access Concord via email and password. Users who access Concord via company [Single Sign on (SSO)](https://help.concord.app/hc/en-us/articles/360019104511?hsLang=en) or Google can activate 2FA in their respective identity provider's settings.*

### Which Users Have 2FA Enabled?

Concord account Administrators and Team Managers can view which users have enabled Two-factor authentication by following these steps:

1. From your home page, select the ⚙ icon at the bottom left-hand corner.
2. Under **Company,** Select **Users**.
3. View the **2FA column.**

Two-factor authentication can only be set up by individual users; admins are unable to require two-factor authentication. The exception is when using single sign-on (SSO), and it is required through the SSO provider.

Users that have disabled or not yet activated Two-factor authentication will have **Disabled** listed in the 2FA column.
