			'''Note:''' MFA does not apply to the [[REST API]], and any user with API privileges will be able to invoke endpoints without an MFA code.

	Obsidian supports multi-factor authentication via [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Authenticator Google Authenticator], which generates rotating one-time codes on your mobile device. Other MFA approaches such as email and SMS are not supported, as they have inherent security issues.
