Two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) strengthens your account security by requiring two verification steps at login.

After enabling 2FA in Account Settings, logging into your account will require your password, followed by a one-time verification code to confirm your identity. The code will either come from an authenticator app on your mobile phone or sent to your email, depending on your chosen 2FA method.

You can enable multiple 2FA methods and choose which one to use when logging in. This gives you a backup option in case you lose your device or can’t access your authenticator app.
