Setting up two-factor authentication
Add an authenticator-app code to your login, and keep your backup codes somewhere safe.
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to logging in — your password, plus a code from an authenticator app on your phone. Turn it on from Settings → Security.
Turning it on
- Settings → Security → Enable
- Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or similar)
- Enter the 6-digit code the app generates to confirm it's set up correctly
- Save the backup codes you're shown — this is the only time you'll see them
Backup codes are shown once, right after setup, and never again. Save them somewhere safe — a password manager is a good spot — before you close that screen.
Logging in with 2FA on
After your email and password, you'll be asked for a code — either the current 6-digit code from your authenticator app, or one of your backup codes if you don't have the app handy.
Turning it off
Settings → Security → Disable. You can always set it back up again later.
