Will enabling 2FA sign me out of my devices? Will I need to re-sync my files?

Does enabling 2fa will lost access on all devices? Will I need to resync folders again on desktop app??

    Hi there, KosyLoB, thanks for joining our Community and for posting your questions!

    No need to worry at all - enabling two-factor authentication shouldn't sign you out of your already linked devices and your files won't need to re-sync.

    I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, let me know.

    Cheers!
