# Two-factor authentication

Enable two-factor authentication for your Navixy account. A one-time passcode sent to your email is required alongside your password on each login.

Navixy offers two-factor authentication (2FA) to bolster security across web and mobile applications. With increasing amounts of sensitive telematics data being managed, 2FA provides a vital layer of security by requiring both a password and a one-time passcode (OTP) sent via email. Your GPS/telematics service provider determines whether 2FA is enabled and configures the related settings.

**How it works**

The OTP is sent to your email and must be entered to complete the login process. The extra step ensures that even if your password is compromised, unauthorized users can't access your account without having access to your email.

{% step %}

## Log in with your password

Enter your username and password to start the login process.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Receive a one-time code

After verifying your password, you receive a one-time passcode at the email associated with your Navixy account
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Enter the code

Enter this OTP to complete your login.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

## Access your account

If the OTP is correct, you gain access to your account.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Each passcode is valid for 5 minutes, limiting the opportunity for misuse. Additionally, you can request a new code if needed, but only once per minute to prevent abuse.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://navixy.com/docs/user/guide/account/two-factor-authentication.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
