Two-Factor Authentication
What is two-factor authentication?
Two-factor authentication makes it so that logging in requires not only an ID and password, but also an authentication code that only you can use. Since this makes it impossible to log in with just an ID and password, it can strengthen the security of your account.
How can I set up two-factor authentication?
You can do this from your Account page.
Setting up two-factor authentication requires the use of a smartphone or tablet, and an authenticator app. Please have the app installed before beginning the setup process.
We generally recommend the following authenticator apps:
• Google Authenticator
• Microsoft Authenticator
How do I change devices if I have two-factor authentication set up?
Before switching to your new device, cancel the two-factor authentication on your current device and then set it up again on your new one.
Please note that if you do not cancel the two-factor authentication on your current device before switching to another, you will not be able to log in on your new device.
You can cancel the two-factor authentication from your Account Page.
