Two-Factor Authentication
Overview
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account. When enabled, you need both your password and a code from an authenticator app to sign in.
Enabling 2FA
Go to your account settings (click your avatar, then Settings) and find the Two-Factor Authentication section.
- Click Enable and confirm your password.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password). If you cannot scan the code, you can enter the setup key manually.
- Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app to verify the setup.
- Save your recovery codes in a safe place.
Recovery codes
After enabling 2FA, you receive 8 recovery codes. Each code can be used once to sign in if you lose access to your authenticator app. Store them somewhere secure, like a password manager.
If you use all your recovery codes, you will need to disable and re-enable 2FA to generate new ones.
Disabling 2FA
To disable two-factor authentication, go to your account settings, click Disable in the Two-Factor Authentication section, and confirm your password. After disabling, you will only need your password to sign in.
