- Open Account settings → Security (the exact path varies; see the official docs link above).
- Choose your preferred method from the list — TOTP and hardware keys are the recommended options.
- For TOTP: scan the QR code with Kaito or your authenticator app of choice. Verify the first 6-digit code before saving.
