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

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

Several cases are possible:

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

You do not need to do anything: 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 for your account only, and disable it later whenever you want.

Here is what to do:

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 greyed out, two-factor authentication is disabled. Otherwise, it is enabled.

> **Note**: if your account administrator enables and then disables the feature, you need to enable it manually for your user account by following the steps above.
