How to set up two-factor authentication?

I got a message from Lichess telling me to set two-factor authentication. I tried several times, but I couldn't do it. Could someone explain to me how I should do it?

Best regards

and if you have it, can you still auto-login on your browser?

Wait for three-factor authentication instead. All your precious games must be kept safe.

1. Download a 2fa app on your device and create an account there
2. Go to https://lichess.org/account/twofactor and scan the qr code with the 2fa app or add the secret code manually
3. Name the newly created online account after Lichess and choose its logo

Thank you very much for the tip, but what do you mean with „2fa App“?

I was under the impression you wanted to "set up a 2 factor authentication".

I don't think this would be possible. As it would undermine the whole purpose of the process in some sense, wouldn't it?
