Once we upgrade, you can access the Two-Step Verification settings by mousing over your ID at the top right of the page. You'll see the option in the right column.
When you click on Two-Step Verification, you'll come to a password page. You will need to provide your current ECF password in order to access the Two-Step Verification options.
