	Two-Step Verification is a means to '''secure your account'''. If your account is compromised, this feature ensures that the attacker ''will not be able to leave the hub, move, join Skyblock, or harm your island!'' It requires a security code that only you have access to. Regardless of how secure you believe your account is, using Two-Step Verification provides peace of mind for you and your faction. '''NOBODY''' will be able to access your account, your personal vaults, or cause harm to your island. We recommend all users enable this feature.

Two-Step Verification is a means to '''secure your account''' so that IF your account is compromised they ''will not be able to leave the hub, move, join any of the planets or harm your faction!'' It requires a security code that only you have. Regardless of how secure you believe your account is, this is peace of mind for you and your faction that '''NOBODY''' will be able to access your account, your PV's or harm your faction! We recommend ALL users use this.

== '''Downloading an Authenticator''' ==
When downloading an authenticator for your Two-Step Verification, we recommend the use of [https://authy.com/download/ Authy] to ensure that your account can be recovered via a master password. 
Authy also allows you to install the chrome extension and desktop application, enabling you to verify your account all on the comfort of your computer! In addition, [https://authy.com/download/ Authy] allows users to have the same account on multiple devices as long as you have verification.

=== Downloading Authy (Mobile) ===
:On your mobile device, download the [https://authy.com/download/ Authy] app. You will be asked to connect your account with a phone number and an email address. You will then be asked to input verification code. 
:After, you will be asked to enter a backup password. Make sure this password is secure. 
In settings, you '''MUST''' set up a master password to make sure your account is completely secure. We recommend making this password a long combination of characters, symbols, and numbers to provide you with the maximum amount of security, and least likely hood of being compromised.

== '''In-Game Two-Step Verification''' ==
=== How do I set up Two-Step Verification? ===
'''Two-Step Verification can ONLY be done from the hub!'''
First, you need to download [https://authy.com/download/ Authy]. [https://authy.com/download/ Authy] will provide you with your code. 
The reason we recommend [https://authy.com/download/ Authy] is because it ''allows you to keep multiple authentication codes'' in one location (things like google authenticator codes, Microsoft authentication codes, twitch 2 factor authentication codes) as well, you are able to have the application on your phone as well as on your desktop/laptop etc. provided you use google chrome. 
Once you have downloaded [https://authy.com/download/ Authy], log in to CosmicSky.net and '''execute the command /auth''' and you will be prompted with the message below and a map. 
 
To look at the map, just point your head downwards

[[File:2fa_instructions.png]]
 
Open [https://authy.com/download/ Authy] and select "'''Add Account'''" and look down at the map in-game. It will be a QR Code that will be '''unique to your account and UUID.'''

[[File:Map.png|400px]]

Once you have scanned the QR code (or entered the Secret Key) into your Two-Step Verification application enter the code the application is provided you, into the in-game chat using '''/auth < code provided by the application >.''' 
Once complete you will be provided with ''5 scratch codes''. These are '''emergency back up codes''' if you lose access to your Two-Step Verification application.

'''Keep them in a safe place and do NOT share or lose them or you will be locked out of your account permanently! '''

[[File:2faCodes.png|700px]]

'''And complete!'''

If your IP address changes you will be prompted for your two-step verification code! If you need to remove Two-Step Verification simply log into your account on Cosmic and run /2fa remove.

== '''Recovery Codes''' ==

If you have lost your Two-Step Verification device and do not have access to your backup codes, you can follow this guide to help you have the possibility of recovering them.

:This process will include combing through your Minecraft log files in order to find the backup recover codes that were placed in chat as a message to you.

::'''IMPORTANT: If you've reset your computer since setting up your /2fa OR deleted your .minecraft folder, then this method will not work for you. Your only other option is to go through your Recycle Bin and hope your old .minecraft is there.'''

::'''8:''' Once in the '''Notepad++''' window, type '''"Control + F''' to open the '''find''' menu. From here, type a '''keyword''' from the '''2FA Backup Codes''' message like '''scratch codes'''. After that select '''Find All in All Opened Documents'''.

::'''9:''' If the text has been recovered, you will have found a location as seen in your '''find''' box located at the bottom of the window. '''Double click''' the found text and it will take you to your recovery codes.

=== OSX Recovery ===
