# Secondary E-Mail

ARKSSPR supports alternative methods other than SMS for 2FA logins. Users can receive the 2FA code with an e-mail address they define. In order to activate this feature, the user must log in to his/her own account via SMS and 2FA. This is done for security purposes and it ensures that the user is the owner of the account.

The user registers an alternative e-mail address. Then, a one-time verification code is sent to your e-mail address. After the verification code is entered, the second e-mail address is registered. After this stage, users can use the verification code sent to their alternative e-mail address for the secondary verification code for login, password reset and account unlocking processes.

In order to use this feature, [E-Mail settings](/master/administration/settings/general-settings/e-mail-settings.md) must be made.
