Set up two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (also known as 2-step verification or 2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account by requiring a verification code at the time you log in.

How it works:

• Every time you log into your Nulab Account, you’ll be asked to enter a verification code along with your password.
• You’ll receive a verification code via the types of verification methods you have selected.
• Enter the code on the Nulab Account login page along with your password, and you will be able to access your account.
