# Multi-factor authentication

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) enhances security for your workspace. UI Bakery uses the TOTP (Time-Based One-Time Passwords) 2FA algorithm.

Admins can enable MFA in the **Workspace settings**. Once it is enabled for your workspace, each user will be prompted to set up MFA at their next login. *New* users will be required to set up MFA during the registration process.

To configure MFA, users need to scan the *QR code* using their authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator, and enter the code generated by the app. Users will be prompted to enter the code at every login until they choose to remember the device.

If you can't scan the QR code, you can try the *Copy setup key* option.
{% endhint %}

## Resetting MFA

Workspace admins can also reset MFA for users who have lost access to their authenticator app. This option is located in **Users & Permissions** - you just need to click on the three dots next to the specific user. Following the reset, users will be able to set up MFA again.

{% hint style="info" %}
With UI Bakery **on-premise**, you have the flexibility of modifying [MFA settings](/on-premise/environment-variables.md#multi-factor-authentication), including the service name, algorithm type, and the duration for which the code remains valid.
