Setting up two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) makes your account much more secure by requiring a second verification step.
What is 2FA?
When you log in, you'll enter:
- Your password (something you know)
- A code from your phone (something you have)
Even if someone gets your password, they can't access your account without your phone.
Setting up 2FA
Using an authenticator app (recommended):
- Go to Settings > Security
- Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Choose Authenticator App
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app
- Enter the code displayed
- Save your backup codes
Using SMS:
- Go to Settings > Security
- Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
- Choose SMS
- Enter your phone number
- Enter the code we send you
Recommended authenticator apps
- Google Authenticator
- Microsoft Authenticator
- Authy

Backup codes
Save your backup codes somewhere safe. You can use these if you lose access to your authenticator.
Logging in with 2FA
- Enter your email and password
- When prompted, open your authenticator app
- Enter the 6-digit code
- You're logged in!
Disabling 2FA
Go to Settings > Security and click Disable 2FA. You'll need to verify your identity first.
