# Setup Duo two-factor-authentication

# Preamble

Another well known two-factor-authenticator is Duo. We strongly recommend setting up such a 2-Factor Authentication to protect your account. Please generate a recovery code afterwards so you always have a possibility to gain access to your account in case you lose your mobile.

# Pre-requirements

Duo is a little bit more work to setup, as it has the precondition that you register for a Duo Account first on duo.com.

During the registration process you are "forced" to download the "Duo Mobile" App, that you can get here for Android or here for Apple
