# I am a user. How do I enable or disable two-factor authentication?

Enable or disable two-factor authentication for your access when your administrator does not require it.

Several scenarios:

## If your account administrator requires two-factor authentication for all accounts:

No action is required on your part; two-factor authentication is enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

## If the administrator does not require two-factor authentication:

You can choose to enable it only for your account, and disable it later if you wish.

Here's how:

1.  In the top-right corner of the screen, click your avatar: the **Profile & preferences** page opens.
    
2.  Click the **Authentication** tab.
    
3.  To the right of **Log in with two-factor authentication**, click the toggle. If it is gray, two-factor authentication is disabled. Otherwise, it is enabled.
    

![The Profile & preferences screen is open to Authentication, where a red arrow points to the off toggle for Log in with two-factor authentication. Visible: Sarbacane, Profile & preferences, Profile, Account, Product license management, User management.](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/gMfOg0ZW91Czngy9G5Hl5wej9G5aBbjqERGV28LsqvEV41rA50vYa99CwIRkH6FLT9ZfNAl4qSg.png)

> **Note**: if your account administrator decides to enable and then disable the feature, you must manually enable it for your user account by following the steps outlined above.
