Two-step login (or two-factor authentication) can only be configured from the [web vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com).
bitwarden supports two-step login (or two-factor authentication) by using a third-party authenticator app such as [Authy](https://authy.com/) or [Google Authenticator](https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1066447?hl=en). Two-step login can only be configured from the [web vault](https://vault.bitwarden.com).
{% warning %}
Two-step login can permanently lock you out of your account. It is very important that you write down and keep your two-step login **recovery code** in a safe place in the event that you lose access to your authenticator app (see below for details).
