Two-factor authentication

With two-factor authentication on, logging in needs your password and a 6-digit code from an app on your phone. Someone who learns your password still cannot get in.

You need an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password or Authy.

In Settings, open Two-factor authentication.

Enter your password. Security settings always ask for it again.

Click Confirm.

Click Turn on two-factor.

Scan the QR code with an authenticator app, or type the setup key into it.

Click Continue.

Enter the 6-digit code the app shows, then click Confirm. Keep the recovery codes somewhere safe.

Next

Done

That is the whole flow. Try it in your own dashboard.
