Securing Your Account with Two-Factor Authentication

Why Two-Factor Authentication Matters

Passwords alone aren't enough. Even strong, unique passwords can be compromised through phishing, data breaches, or social engineering. Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second verification step that makes unauthorized access significantly harder.

Setting Up 2FA

Step 1: Navigate to Security Settings

Go to Settings → Security from the sidebar. You'll find the Two-Factor Authentication section near the top of the page.

Step 2: Scan the QR Code

Click "Enable Two-Factor Authentication." A QR code will appear on screen. Scan it with your preferred authenticator app — Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or any TOTP-compatible app will work.

Step 3: Enter the Verification Code

Your authenticator app will display a 6-digit code that refreshes every 30 seconds. Enter the current code to verify that your app is set up correctly.

Step 4: Save Your Recovery Codes

After verification, you'll receive a set of one-time recovery codes. Store these somewhere safe. If you lose access to your authenticator app, recovery codes are the only way to regain access to your account.

Logging In with 2FA

Once enabled, you'll be prompted for a verification code after entering your password. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app to complete the login.

Lost Your Device?

Use one of your recovery codes to log in. Each recovery code can only be used once. After logging in, we recommend disabling and re-enabling 2FA to generate a new set of codes linked to your new device.
