Once the code has been entered, you have successfully integrated and authenticated your user using email-based two-factor authentication.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you do not receive the code, please check your spam folder and ensure you have defined a system notification email in the [Advanced System Settings](/application-reference/settings/advanced-system-settings/advanced-settings.md#system-notification-email).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" icon="xmark-large" %}
Each verification code allows **up to three attempts**. After three failed attempts, the code **expires** and a **new verification code must be generated**.
{% endhint %}
