Two-factor authentication (2FA) protects your account even if your password is stolen. You confirm each login with a 6-digit code from an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password.
Step by step
- Open Profile → Security and choose Enable two-factor authentication.
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (or type the setup key manually).
- Enter the 6-digit code your app shows to confirm.
- Save your backup codes somewhere safe — they let you back in if you lose your phone.
Tips
- Vendors: 2FA protects sensitive account changes, so keep it available.
