# Enabling Two Factor Authentication

> Configure authentication methods for your Blink account, including SSO and multi-factor authentication.

When signing up for Blink, you have the option to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for enhanced account security. Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of protection by requiring users to verify their identity using two separate forms of identification before accessing their account.

<Note>**Note**: Two-Factor Authentication is only available for the **email login** option.</Note>
