==========================================

This guide helps you set up extra protection for your email account using your phone.  
It takes just a few minutes, and you only need to do it once.

What Is 2-Step Login?
=======================

After turning it on, signing in to your email will require:

1. Your password (like usual)
2. A 6-digit code from an app on your phone

This makes your account much more secure.

- Click the **Settings** icon on the left side

Important Notes
==================

- Every time you log in, after your password, you will be asked for the 6-digit code from the app.
- The code changes every 30 seconds — that’s normal.
- If you lose your phone, use the **recovery codes** shown to you during setup.
