Two-Factor Authentication

Add an extra layer of security with TOTP-based two-factor authentication.


Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step to your login process. Even if someone learns your password, they cannot access your account without the code from your authenticator app.

How It Works

With 2FA enabled, logging in requires two things: your password and a time-based one-time code generated by an authenticator app on your phone. The code changes every 30 seconds, so it cannot be reused.

Enabling 2FA

  1. Open the account dialog and go to the security section.
  2. Click Enable 2FA.
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or any TOTP-compatible app).
  4. Enter the verification code shown in your app to confirm the setup.

Once confirmed, 2FA is active on your account.

Backup Codes

After enabling 2FA, you receive a set of backup codes. Each code can be used once in place of your authenticator code — for example, if you lose access to your phone.

Save your backup codes in a safe place. You will not be able to view them again after the initial setup. If you run out of backup codes and lose your authenticator app, you may not be able to recover your account.

Logging In With 2FA

When 2FA is enabled, the login flow adds one extra step. After entering your password, you are prompted for the six-digit code from your authenticator app. Enter the current code to complete the login.

Disabling 2FA

If you no longer want to use 2FA, you can disable it in the account dialog under the security section. You will need to confirm the action with a code from your authenticator app. Once disabled, you only need your password to log in.
