Two-Factor Authentication

Protect your account with an additional security layer.

What is 2FA?

Two-factor authentication requires:

1. Something you know (password)
2. Something you have (authenticator app code)

This prevents unauthorized access even if your password is compromised.

Enabling 2FA

1. Click 2FA button in profile header
2. Scan QR code with authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.)
3. Enter 6-digit verification code
4. Save recovery codes securely
5. 2FA is active

Recovery Codes

Recovery codes are backup access if you lose your authenticator:

• 10 single-use codes generated
• Each code works once only
• Store securely (password manager, printed copy)
• Regenerate if needed (invalidates old codes)

Viewing Recovery Codes

1. Click 2FA management
2. Select "View Recovery Codes"
3. Verify with current 2FA code
4. View and save codes

Regenerating Recovery Codes

1. Click 2FA management
2. Select "Regenerate Codes"
3. Verify with current 2FA code
4. New codes generated, old codes invalidated
5. Save new codes immediately

Disabling 2FA

1. Click 2FA management
2. Select "Disable 2FA"
3. Confirm with current 2FA code
4. 2FA removed from account

Warning: Disabling 2FA reduces account security. Only disable if necessary.
