# MFA

Learn more about how to enable MFA.

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a second check to your North sign in. North supports two methods: an authenticator app, and a code sent by SMS.

## Enable MFA

1. Go to [app.north.cloud/settings](https://app.north.cloud/settings) and open the **Security** tab.
2. Find the **Multi-Factor Authentication** section.
3. Choose **Authenticator App** or **SMS**.
4. For an authenticator app, scan the QR code with your app, then enter the six-digit code it shows. If you cannot scan the code, use the setup key below it.
5. For SMS, enter your phone number, click **Send code**, then enter the code you receive.

{% hint style="info" %}
Your email address must be verified before you can enroll. If it is not, the Security tab offers to send you a verification email. Click the link in that email, then click refresh on the same panel.
{% endhint %}

## Require MFA for Your Team

The root user of your organization can make MFA mandatory. Enroll first, then set the **Require MFA for all team members** toggle in the same section. Team members who are not enrolled are asked to enroll at their next sign in.

## Remove MFA

In the **Multi-Factor Authentication** section, click the remove control and confirm. North signs you out when the removal completes, so you must sign in again.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.north.cloud/docs/getting-started/security/mfa.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
