Yes. Ledn uses Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) to add an additional layer of security to your account.
Two-Factor Authentication means that, in addition to your email and password, you'll be asked to verify your identity using a second authentication method when accessing your account.
What Authentication Methods Does Ledn Use?
Depending on your account configuration, you may use one of the following methods:
SMS Verification: A one-time verification code is sent to the phone number associated with your Ledn account. You'll enter this code when prompted to verify your identity.
Passkeys: Passkeys allow you to securely authenticate using a trusted device or supported credential manager. When you use a Passkey, you confirm your identity using the security method available on your device, such as facial recognition, fingerprint, device PIN, or another supported authentication method. These methods are used to authorize the use of your Passkey; they are not the Passkey itself. Passkeys are phishing resistant and help prevent unauthorized access compared to traditional authentication methods.

Hardware Keys provide strong protection against phishing because physical access to the registered key is required to authenticate.

| Important: TOTP is currently available to clients who already have this authentication method configured. It is not available for new configurations. |
Which Authentication Method Does Ledn Recommend?
For stronger account protection, Ledn recommends using a Passkey or Hardware Security Key. These methods use phishing-resistant authentication and provide a higher level of protection against phishing and unauthorized access.
