# Enable Email based Two Step Verification

Email-based Two-Step (2-Step) verification provides you with a quick and easy way to enhance the security mechanism that is used to log in to Scalefusion Dashboard. Once enabled, whenever an administrator (including you) tries to log in to Dashboard, a One Time Password (OTP) will be sent to the email address with which the login has been attempted.

#### Who can Enable Two-Step Authentication?

Only the accounts with Owners and co-account Owners have the privilege of enabling 2-step authentication.

## Before you Begin

1. Make sure you have a valid Scalefusion Dashboard account with the owner or co-account owner privileges.Enabling 2-step verification will force all the owners, co-account owners, and other administrators in your Scalefusion Dashboard to follow 2-step verification.
