## 🛠 How to Secure Your Fleetwire Account

Follow these steps to update your password, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) with SMS, and handle lost 2FA access, ensuring your account stays protected.

### Step 1: Change Your Password

Update your password to something strong and unique to prevent unauthorized access.

1. In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to [Settings > Security > Password](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/settings/security#password).
2. Enter your **Current Password** to verify your identity.
3. Enter your **New Password**—it must be at least 8 characters long and should include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
4. **Confirm** the new password and click **Save** to update it.

| **Pro Tip**: Use a password manager like 1Password or LastPass to generate and store a complex password (e.g., `X9m!pL$2vQ`) securely—don’t reuse passwords across accounts!

### Step 2: Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Add an extra layer of security by enabling 2FA, which sends a unique code to your phone via SMS each time you log in.

1. Go to [Settings > Security > 2FA](https://tenant.fleetwire.io/settings/security#2fa) in your Fleetwire dashboard.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up 2FA:
* Enter your **Phone Number** to receive SMS codes (ensure it’s a number you have access to).
* Click **Send Code** to receive a 4-digit code via text message.
* Enter the code you receive to confirm the setup.
3. Click **Confirm** to enable 2FA—now you’ll need your password and an SMS code to sign in.

### Step 3: Test Your Security Settings

Verify that your new password and 2FA setup work as expected.

1. Log out of your Fleetwire account from [tenant.fleetwire.io](https://tenant.fleetwire.io).
2. Log back in using your new password.
3. If 2FA is enabled, enter the 4-digit SMS code sent to your phone to complete the login.
4. If you encounter issues (e.g., no SMS received), double-check your phone number or use a recovery code (Step 3) to regain access.

| **Quick Tip**: Test logging in from a different device to ensure SMS codes are delivered reliably across your devices!
