After creating your account, TEM | pro will add you to the private GitHub organization. You can navigate to the wiki home page by going to:

####Set up two-factor authentication

Now that you have an account, it is important to set up two-factor authentication to protect your account from outside users trying to log in with your username & password. Two-factor authentication requires that GitHub will send a text message with a log in code to your cell phone whenever a new computer is used to log onto GitHub.

To set this up:

Click on your icon in the top right corner > Click Settings > Click Security

Then go through the steps to enable two-factor authentication.
