# Two-Factor Auth & Recovery Actions

The 2FA Authentication action allows users to log in to your Portal base project or application using a one-time 6-digit code from an authentication provider.

Please note, the Portal Base project for deployed users will have Two-Factor Authentication preconfigured. 

{% hint style="info" %}
When utilizing 2FA for your own project (not Base Portal), provide read access permissions for your users to the Two-Factor Authentication Settings Form.
{% endhint %}
