Two-step verification ​

Two-step verification is an account setting that asks for a code from an authenticator app after your password. It protects your account if your password is compromised.

Set up an authenticator app ​

To turn on two-step verification, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Security.

  2. In the Two-step verification section, next to Authenticator app, click Set up.

  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, or enter the Setup key by hand.

  4. In the Code from your app field, enter the code that the app shows.

  5. Click Turn on.

The page then shows 10 recovery codes. Save them before you continue.

Each code is a six-digit number that changes every 30 seconds. A code that was already used to sign in doesn't work a second time.

Sign in with a code ​

When two-step verification is on, the Two-step verification page appears after your password. Enter the code from your app and click Verify.

On that page you can also do the following:

  • To use a saved recovery code, click Use a recovery code instead.
  • To use a passkey as the second step, click Use a passkey.

After 10 wrong codes in 15 minutes, the second step is blocked for 15 minutes.

Turn off two-step verification ​

To turn it off, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Security.
  2. Next to Authenticator app, click Turn off.
  3. Enter your current password.
  4. Click Turn off.

Turning off two-step verification also deletes your recovery codes.
