Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is something you know and something you have.

Regular password-based logins are one-factor (something you know). 2FA makes an account more secure by guarding against a lost or guessed password, since you also need a special device to access your account. You can turn on 2FA for your account here.

Your authentication method is currently:

TOTP

TOTP is a time-based one-time password method of two-factor authentication.

You will need a TOTP-compatible device, such as any Android device with the FreeOTP Authenticator app. We’ll generate a QR code that you import into your device or app. After you generate the QR code, you’ll activate 2FA by entering your first activation code provided by your device or app.

When using TOTP 2FA, your password becomes your previous plain password plus a space plus the code generated by your TOTP device.
