Scan the **QR code** using your preferred authenticator app. Then, enter the **6-digit verification code** generated by the app.

If you can't scan the QR code, **click the option** below it to display a setup key. Copy the key and enter it manually into your authenticator app.&#x20;

In the app, add the required information, save it, and enter the **6-digit verification code** generated by the app.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save your backup codes

Once MFA is enabled, you'll receive **10 backup codes**. Make sure to store these codes somewhere safe. You'll need them to access your account if you can't use your authenticator app.

Once it's stored, check the box confirming that the backup codes are stored and click **Done**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### You're all set! :tada:

That's it! **Multi-Factor Authentication is now enabled** on your account.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.documint.me/introduction/basic-tutorials/enable-multi-factor-authentication-mfa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
