Activate Multi-Factor Authentication

Enable multi-factor authentication by using an authentication app on your mobile device to scan a QR code.

If you do not have an authentication app on your mobile device, you will need to download one. You can use apps like Authy, Google Authenticator, LastPass, or Microsoft Authenticator. You can also use a set-up key with an authentication app on your mobile device or computer. We recommend scanning a QR code as the easiest method.
