Keep in mind that if you log in from the computer used to generate TOTP codes, this approach does not protect your account if an attacker gains access to your computer.</span>

This bears the same limitations as the above, but may be worth looking into if you already use one for other things.</span> [[{{lm|OATHAuth enable link|png}}|thumb|<span lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">Overview of preferences section to enable two-factor authentication</span>]]

Please note, most of the directions on this page are specific to the TOTP method. The [[{{lwp|WebAuthn}}|WebAuthn]] method is more experimental and currently has no recovery options (cf. [[phab:T244348|related developer task]]). WebAuthn has a known issue that you must make future logons on the same project that you initiate it from ([[phab:T244088|tracking task]]). WebAuthn is not currently available for use via mobile apps ([[phab:T230043|T230043]]).
