# Why doesn't Delta Drive have a password?

Because a code sent to your email each time can't be reused, guessed from a leaked password list, or forgotten. Each code works once and lasts fifteen minutes.

The weak point of email-only sign-in is your inbox: anyone who reaches it reaches your files. That's why the web version has a **Security** screen where you can add **two-step sign-in** — a code from an authenticator app on your phone, as a second, separate thing to hold.
