### How to Set Up 2FA

1. **Navigate to the Security Config Section**
   * In BONKbot, go to **Settings** > **Security Config** and select the option to set up **Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)**.
2. **Generate Your 2FA Key**
   * BONKbot will display a QR code and a backup key. This information is required to link your account with your authenticator app.
3. **Add BONKbot to Your Authenticator App**
   * Open your preferred authenticator app (e.g., Google Authenticator, Authy).
   * If using Google Authenticator, tap the plus button in the bottom right of the app and either:
     * Select "Scan a QR code" and scan the QR code displayed in BONKbot.
     * Select "Enter a setup key" and manually enter the backup key provided, ensuring the type is set to **Time-based**

4. **Enter the Verification Code**
   * After adding BONKbot to your authenticator app, a 6-digit verification code will be generated. Return to BONKbot and enter this code to complete the setup process.
5. **Confirmation**
   * Once the correct code is entered, 2FA will be successfully enabled for your BONKbot account.

### Managing 2FA in BONKbot

* **Backup Key:** Save your backup key securely. If you lose access to your authenticator app, this key allows you to re-link your account.
* **Disabling 2FA:** To disable 2FA, return to the **Security Config** section and follow the prompts to turn it off. You will be required to enter a verification code to confirm the action.

### Why Enable 2FA?

* **Enhanced Security:** Protects your account from unauthorized access.
* T**ransaction Protection**: Use 2FA to protect sensitive actions, like private key exports and withdrawals.
* **Easy Recovery:** Use the backup key to regain access if needed.

BONKbot makes securing your account simple and effective with 2FA, ensuring peace of mind while you trade confidently.&#x20;
