Turn on multi-factor authentication

Protect your account with an authenticator app and backup codes.

Updated 7 October 2026

Set it up

  1. Open My profile › Security.
  2. Add a device. Open your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password or Authy) and scan the QR code. Can't scan? Enter the key shown.
  3. Type the 6-digit code and press Confirm.
  4. Save your backup codes now. Each one works once if you lose your devices, and they won't be shown again.

You can add more than one device, so a spare phone or tablet can get you back in.

Lost your device?

Sign in with a backup code, then Remove the lost device and add a new one. Reset MFA removes every device and backup code. If you're completely locked out, ask your account owner to reset your MFA from Settings › Team, or contact support.
