Two-step login can only be configured from the [web vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com). If you lose access to your two-step verification app, and recovery code, bitwarden will not be able to recover your account.
Two-step login (or two-factor authentication) can only be configured from the [web vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com).
1. Log in to the [web vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com) at https://vault.bitwarden.com
2. Click **Settings** on the sidebar
3. Click **Manage Two-step Log in** under the **Two-step Log In** panel
4. Type in your current password and click **Continue**
5. Follow the steps that appear
1. Download two-step verification app
2. Scan QR code
3. Enter verification code
6. Click **Enable Two-step**
- A green banner will appear above stating that two-step login has been enabled; and
- **Important**: A brown banner will appear below with a recovery code
7. Print or write down the recovery code and store in a safe place
- This code is **REQUIRED** to restore your account
- Download a two-step verification app. We recommend [Authy](https://authy.com/).
- Scan the QR code with the verification app.
- Enter verification code from the app.
6. Click **Enable Two-step**. Note:
- A green alert will appear at the top stating that two-step login has been enabled; and
- **Very Important**: An orange alert will appear at the bottom with a recovery code
7. Print or write down the recovery code and store in a safe place. This code is **REQUIRED** to restore your account in the event that you lose access to your verification app (ex. your phone is lost). If you lose access to your verification app and do not have your recovery code, bitwarden support will not be able to assist you in recovering your account. The only option will be to delete your account and start over.
8. Click **Close** and then **Log Out**
9. Log in to confirm that two-step verification is enabled and working
10. Log out of and back in to any other bitwarden applications that you are using
- You will eventually be logged out automatically
