If you prefer, you can save this for later by clicking the "Remind me later" button.

Sites may require this before you can login, in which case you won't have the Remind me Later option.

You can also set this up from this settings page, you are also able to activate two-factor authentication for your account.

In case you don't know, two-factor authentication is a process that requires a secondary code to be entered before anyone can sign into your account on the system.

By activating this, you will be required to enter a code from a two-factor authentication app such as Google Authenticator or Authy, alongside your normal sign in details.

To set this up follow these instructions:
