Turn on two-factor authentication
Last updated: September 30, 2026
Two-factor authentication adds a second step - a 6-digit code from an authenticator app - when you sign in. It's optional and available to every account.
Turn it on
Go to Settings → My Account → Two-factor authentication and click Set up two-factor authentication. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password), then enter the 6-digit code it shows.
Save your backup codes
After you confirm, you're shown a set of backup codes. Save them somewhere safe - each one works once and lets you sign in if you lose access to your authenticator app.
Signing in
After your password, you'll be asked for a code from the app (or a backup code).
Turn it off
On the same page, click Turn off.
