# Two-step authentication requirement

Stripe requires some users to enable two-step authentication to help protect their accounts. See What can I do to make my account more secure? for more ways you can secure your account.
## Sharing an account?
If other people need access to your account, invite them as team members so each user can have their own credentials and devices for two-step authentication. You can also require two-step authentication for everyone on the [Team settings page](https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/team).
## Having trouble authenticating?
You have several options to remove two-step authentication if needed. You may also find these guides helpful:
