# Advanced Security Options

## Setting Advanced Security Options

You can apply advanced security to your account to prevent multiple concurrent active sessions for one user identification in the Wasabi Management Console.

1. Click **Security** on the Wasabi menu.
2. Click **Advanced Options**.

If MFA is enabled, the panel appears as:

If MFA is not enabled, you will not see the MFA Code requirement.

> Advanced Security Options are protected by MFA. If you do not have MFA enabled, it is highly recommended that you [enable it](https://docs.wasabi.com/docs/creating-a-virtual-multi-factor-authentication-mfa-device).
3. Slide to enable either security option.

When **Prevent multiple concurrent active sessions for one user identification in the Wasabi Console** is enabled, you cannot have multiple concurrent active sessions for one user identification in the Wasabi Management Console.

When **Prevent account deletion with Object Lock Buckets** is enabled, you cannot delete the account with active Object Lock (OL) buckets. A list of OL buckets will be displayed when you attempt to delete an account.

When **Prevent account deletion for accounts with existing Covert Copy buckets** is enabled, you cannot delete the account with active Covert Copy buckets. (This option is enabled by default.)
4. If MFA is enabled, enter the MFA Code, which is required to enable or disable a security option.
5. Click **Update Advanced Security Settings** to confirm your changes.
