Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication is a powerful way to ensure you are the only one able to sign in to your account. When signing in, you will enter a 6-digit code along with your password to prove your identity. Be careful though: if you lose your phone and the recovery codes created when you activate this feature, access to your diaspora* account will be blocked forever.
