Step by step

  1. 1

    Two-step sign-in is in Settings, under Me. Click Sign-in and security.

  2. 2

    Two-step sign-in asks for a code from your phone, after your password. A stolen password alone is then not enough.

  4. 4

    Next, you scan a QR code with an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or 1Password. Cannot scan it? Type the key shown below it.

  5. 5

    Then you type the six-digit code the app shows, and press Turn on two-step.

  6. 6

    Save the recovery codes it shows. Each one works once if you lose your phone, and they are shown only this once.

  7. 7

    From then on, signing in asks for your password, then a code. To turn it off, you need your password.

Recovery codes are shown only once: keep them somewhere safe. Each one works once if you lose your phone.

In short

  1. Open Settings › Me › Sign-in & security and press Set up two-step sign-in.
  2. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password…). Cannot scan it? Type the key shown below it.
  3. Type the six-digit code the app shows and press Turn on two-step.
  4. Save the recovery codes it shows. Each one works once if you lose your phone, and they are shown only this once.

From then on, signing in asks for your password and then a code. To turn two-step sign-in off, you need your password.
