# Two-factor authentication: Backup tokens

## Two-factor authentication is mandatory for all our professional accounts. To log in you have to use an authenticator app on your phone that will generate tokens for you.

#### Two-factor authentication is not mandatory for clients , but we can set it up for you on request.

#### On those occasions that you cannot use your phone for whatever reason and you have to log in to the platform you still have the option to use backup tokens.

### Generating backup tokens

To generate backup tokens you first have to log in to [Therapieland](https://app.therapieland.nl/) or [Gezondeboel](https://app.gezondeboel.nl/).

#### I'm logging in as a professional

In the top-right corner of the page, click on your organisation's name and choose 'settings' in the dropdown menu. Then click on 'My tokens' under the 'two-factor authentication' header, this will open a popup screen showing five backup tokens. Copy these tokens or write them down. Store them in a safe spot.

#### I'm logging in as a client

Click on the blue Profile icon in the top-right corner of the page and choose 'settings' in the dropdown menu. Then click on 'My tokens' under the 'two-factor authentication' header, this will open a popup screen showing five backup tokens. Copy these tokens or write them down. Store them in a safe spot.

### Generating extra backup tokens

When you've run out of backup tokens you will be able to generate new ones by clicking on the blue button saying 'Generate more'. 

### Using backup tokens

You cannot enter the backup tokens into the standard login form. To use a backup token while logging in you have to click on the gray button saying 'Use backup token'. When you do that you can enter one of the tokens. Once you have used a backup token you cannot use it again; every token only works one time!
