<p class="callout warning">MFA is enabled by default for new accounts created with an email address, and a new code is sent to your email address each time you log in. If you use OAuth, the security of your elestio account is determined by the security of the login provider you choose (Google, GitHub, GitLab), so make sure MFA is enabled!</p>

<p class="callout info">TOTP-based MFA from Authy, Google, and Microsoft authenticator is also supported by Elestio. You can manage these after signup inside the account setting. [Click](https://docs.elest.io/books/security/page/multi-factor-authentication "Click") here to know more!</p>
