Two-Factor Authentication
Add an extra layer of security to your account
Two-factor authentication (2FA) requires a second verification step when logging in, protecting your account even if your password is compromised.
Setting Up 2FA
Using an Authenticator App
Go to Security Settings
Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
Click Enable
Select "Authenticator App."
Scan QR Code
Open your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.) and scan the QR code.
Enter Verification Code
Type the 6-digit code from your app.
Save Backup Codes
Download and securely store your backup codes. These let you log in if you lose access to your authenticator.
Using Email OTP
Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
Select "Email OTP."
Confirm your email address.
Each login will send a code to your email.
Logging In with 2FA
- Enter your email and password
- You'll be prompted for your 2FA code
- Enter the code from your authenticator app
- (Or enter the code sent to your email)
Backup Codes
Backup codes are one-time use codes for when you can't access your authenticator.
Getting Backup Codes
- Generated when you enable 2FA
- Can regenerate anytime in Security settings
Using a Backup Code
- On the 2FA prompt, click "Use backup code"
- Enter one of your backup codes
- The code is consumed (can't be used again)
Storing Backup Codes
- Save in a password manager
- Print and store securely
- Don't store in email or cloud storage
Disabling 2FA
Go to Settings → Security → Two-Factor Authentication.
Click "Disable 2FA."
Enter your password to confirm.
Enter a 2FA code (or backup code).
Warning: Disabling 2FA reduces account security. Only disable if necessary.
