Turn on two-step verification

#Before you start

• Have an authenticator app on your phone: Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy or the iPhone Passwords app.
• Without an app, you can get the code by email.
• Every customer can turn it on, on any plan. Each team member turns it on in their own account.

#Step by step
