Two-factor authentication provides an extra layer of security for your DPG account.

Create a new device with a memorable name like **iPhone**.}

The mobile app will give you a code to enter to complete the set up.

Now when you log in to DPG you'll also need the code from your device. This means that even if someone gains access to your account password, your account will still be safe. If you are working on a machine you own you can make the device always trust you by changing the **trust this computer** option.
