### 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**
