# Two-Factor Auth for Admin?

 * Under User Policies -> Role-based -> Administrator, the Two-factor authentication
   option is greyed out and set to Disabled. If selecting other roles, the 2fa option
   stops being greyed out and I can make a selection.
 * Does this mean two-factor authentication isn’t available for administrators?
 * If this is the case, is there a reason? Protecting the admin account seems like
   the most important account to protect.
 * Thanks,
    Damon

 * 2FA is available for all roles. Please make a screenshot of what is greyed out.

 * On each of my websites, the Administrator option looks like this:

 * Other roles have all options available:

 * Now I see. Before you can enable 2FA for administrators’ accounts, you have to
   complete one successful login with 2FA enabled for any other role on your website.
