Two-factor authentication adds a second step after your password. You can use an authenticator app (TOTP) or email verification (OTP).
Ples Two-Factor Authentication settings with Enable 2FA and authenticator status

Turn 2FA on

2

Click Enable 2FA

Choose Authenticator App (Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar) or Email Verification.
3

Finish the wizard

For TOTP, scan the QR code and enter a 6-digit code. For email, enter the code Ples sends to your account email. Save your backup codes if you chose an authenticator.

At sign-in

After email and password, Ples sends you to /2fa-challenge (Verify Your Login). Enter the 6-digit code from the app or from email, complete Cloudflare Turnstile, and click Verify. Email OTP can be resent after a short cooldown. You can trust this device for 60 days so Ples skips the 2FA challenge on that browser. Review or revoke trusted devices on the same 2FA settings page.
Use an authenticator app if you can. Email OTP depends on that message arriving.
You can disable 2FA from the same settings page after you confirm it is you.
