<Steps>

<Step title="Ensure you have a password set">
|
|
In order to see the option to set up two-factor authentication, you need to set a password. If you haven't set a password yet, possibly because you created your account through signing in with Google or GitHub, you will not be able to follow along this guide.
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Two-factor authentication requires a password to be set on your account. If you signed up using a social provider (Google or GitHub), you'll need to set a password first from the Authentication settings page.
