Two-factor authentication (2FA) setup

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second layer of protection on top of your password: a one-time six-digit code from an app on your phone. Even if someone got hold of your password, they could not get into the account without the code. Turning it on takes less than a minute.

How to turn on 2FA

1. Open Settings and in the Account section open the 2FA tab (or go directly to /dashboard/2fa).
2. In your authenticator app, scan the QR code that is displayed. If the scanner does not work, enter the text key shown under the QR manually.
3. The app starts generating six-digit codes that change every 30 seconds. Enter the current code into the field and confirm.
4. 10 backup codes will be shown. Save them in a safe place (a password manager, or print them). They let you sign in when you do not have your phone at hand.

Recommended apps

2FA works with any TOTP app. Proven choices are:

• Google Authenticator (Android, iOS)
• Microsoft Authenticator
• Authy (with cloud backup)
• 1Password, Bitwarden and similar password managers with TOTP support

Signing in with 2FA enabled

After you enter your e-mail and password, we will ask you for a one-time code from the app. On your own computer you can tick Remember this device and we will not ask for the code for 30 days (more in the article on trusted devices).

Backup codes

• Each code can be used only once.
• When signing in, enter a backup code instead of the code from the app.
• When you are running low on codes, you can generate new ones in Settings (the old ones stop working).

Turning off 2FA

In Settings, in the Account section, open 2FA and choose to turn it off. For safety we require confirmation with your account password.
