Two-factor authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your account. When enabled, you'll need both your password and a code from your authenticator app to sign in.
Setting up 2FA
- Go to your settings and open the Security tab
- Find the two-factor authentication section
- Click Enable 2FA
- Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or similar)
- Enter the 6-digit code from your app to confirm
- Save the backup codes in a safe place
Signing in with 2FA
Once 2FA is enabled, the sign-in flow adds one extra step:
- Enter your email and password as usual
- You'll be prompted for a verification code
- Open your authenticator app and enter the current 6-digit code
- You're signed in
Backup codes
When you first enable 2FA, you're given a set of backup codes. These are single-use codes that let you sign in if you lose access to your authenticator app.
Store these somewhere safe — a password manager is ideal. Each backup code can only be used once.
Disabling 2FA
If you need to disable 2FA:
- Go to your settings, Security tab
- Find the two-factor authentication section
- Click Disable 2FA
- Confirm with your password
If you're locked out
If you've lost access to both your authenticator app and your backup codes, email [email protected] for help recovering your account.
Do I need 2FA?
2FA isn't required, but we strongly recommend it — especially for workspace Owners and Admins who have access to sensitive data and team management capabilities. It takes just a few minutes to set up and significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access.
