# Investor How-Tos

## Log In

You can log in using your email, password, and Multi-factor authentication (MFA). When you initiate the login, you will receive a response indicating if you can use MFA, or if you need to set it up first. To set it up, you must first associate and validate an authenticator app. You can then complete the login with the required MFA code. When you complete the login, you will receive a JWT Token, which you can then use for other API calls.

{% hint style="info" %}
**This token expires after 1 hour**, after which you will have to log in again.
{% endhint %}
