Multi-Factor Authentication as a required set up to your JuanTax account.

Multi-Factor Authentication is a highly-recommended security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your JuanTax account.

**Important Notes**:

-   Once you enable MFA in your account, JuanTax will require a six-digit security code in addition to your password whenever you sign in or link a new device to your account.
    
-   Newly signed-up users and/or existing users who did not set up their MFA will automatically receive their OTP thru their registered email address.
