== Enabling 2FA on desktop and laptop computers ==
{{shortcut|H:2FAPC}}
You can use apps like WinAuth, Authenticator, and KeeWeb to handle 2FA tokens on many computers. Many other open or closed source OTP clients may be used, see [[comparison of OTP applications]] for more options. This is the recommended way to use 2FA if you don't have a smartphone or tablet computer. Certain laptops (like Chromebooks) may need to use the "[[Help:Two-factor_authentication#Enabling_2FA_on_smartphones_and_tablet_computers|tablet]]" section above.
If you currently use a [[password manager]], check whether it supports 2FA. (Your password manager may also refer to 2FA as ''[[One-time password|OTP]]'' or ''[[Time-based One-time Password algorithm|TOTP]]''.) Using your current password manager for 2FA is easier than setting up a new 2FA app.
