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:

  1. Your password (something you know)
  2. 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):

  1. Go to Settings > Security
  2. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
  3. Choose Authenticator App
  4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app
  5. Enter the code displayed
  6. Save your backup codes

Using SMS:

  1. Go to Settings > Security
  2. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
  3. Choose SMS
  4. Enter your phone number
  5. Enter the code we send you

Recommended authenticator apps

  • Google Authenticator
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • Authy
  • 1Password

Backup codes

Save your backup codes somewhere safe. You can use these if you lose access to your authenticator.

Logging in with 2FA

  1. Enter your email and password
  2. When prompted, open your authenticator app
  3. Enter the 6-digit code
  4. You're logged in!

Disabling 2FA

Go to Settings > Security and click Disable 2FA. You'll need to verify your identity first.
