How do I enroll an authenticator app?

Who can do this

Anyone — this is on your own account

Authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, etc.) generate a 6-digit code that rotates every 30 seconds. It's the most common second factor.

Steps

1. Open Account in the sidebar.
2. Scroll to Security → Authentication Methods.
3. Click Set up Authenticator App.
4. A modal shows a QR code and a manual secret string. Open your authenticator app and either:
   • Scan the QR code (easiest), or
   • Add an entry manually and paste the secret.
5. Your app starts generating 6-digit codes.
6. Type the current code in the Verification Code field and click Verify.

Result

Your authenticator is enrolled. Next sign-in, after your password or SSO, you'll be prompted for a 6-digit code.

Save your backup codes

The modal also gives you one-time backup codes. Save them in a password manager — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
