Within Teamwork Desk, you can enable two-factor authentication for your profile, adding an additional layer of protection to your account.

Note: Two-factor authentication is available on the Pro plan and above.

When enabled, each time you sign in to any Teamwork application, you will need to enter both your password for your account, and a verification code from the Google Authenticator app. 

Click your profile icon in the top right corner of your site, and select View Profile from the dropdown menu.
