    1. Login to your webmail account

    Go to settings->Two-Factor Authentication. Click Enable on the Email button.

    2. Enter an alternate email address

    Put in an alternate email address you have access to; something other than the one you are currently logged in as. Then click the Next button.

    3. Put in the one-time passcode

    Put in the one-time passcode you receive in your alternate email address. Then click the Finish button.

    5. Now it's time to test your 2FA

    Log out of your Roundcube email box and log back in. You should now see a second popup box that asks for the 6 digit code one-time passcode sent to your secondary email. Copy that code to enter your email account.
