Hi,

In the profile in English there is:

And in french:

I downloaded the TMX file to check it and the English sentence is:

`<seg>Enable &lt;a href&gt;two factor authentication&lt;/a&gt; for enhanced account security</seg>`

And the French one:

`<seg>Activer &lt;a href&gt;l'authentification à deux étapes&lt;/a&gt; pour une sécurité accrue des comptes.</seg>`

So I’m not sure why these `<a href>` and `</a>` shows up only in French…  
Another problem is about `deux étapes` (litterally `two step`): it should be `deux facteurs`. In the TMX file, half of the sentenses used one version, and half the other. I think all should use `deux facteurs`.

I’m sorry I’m just discovering transifex so I’m not sure how to start fixing that, but if anyone can tell me how to, I’ll be happy to do it.
