# Security settings

Security settings let you manage how you log in and how your account is protected. You'll find these in **Settings → Security Settings**.

---

### Updating your password

1. Tap **Settings** in the navigation bar.
2. Tap **Security Settings**.
3. Tap **Update Password**.
4. Enter your current password, then enter and confirm your new password.
5. Tap **Save**.

---

### Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your account. When logging in with your email and password, you'll be sent a verification code by email or text to confirm your identity.

To change your 2FA method:

1. Tap **Settings → Security Settings**.
2. Tap **Two-Factor Authentication**.
3. Select **Email** or **Text Message** as your preferred method.

---

### Biometric login

Biometric login lets you sign in using Face ID, Touch ID, or the equivalent on your device, bypassing the password and 2FA steps entirely.

To enable or disable biometric login:

1. Tap **Settings → Security Settings**.
2. Tap **Biometric Login**.
3. Toggle it on or off.

---

### Session timeout

For your security, the app will require biometric or password login again after a period of inactivity. You can adjust the timeout duration in **Security Settings**.

**Note:** Keeping your timeout short is recommended, especially if others have access to your device.
