Key takeaways
- 2FA is enabled at Settings → Security via /workspace/settings?tab=security.
- Setup requires scanning a QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password) and entering the 6-digit code.
- After enabling, sign-in asks for the authenticator code after the password.
- Recovery codes shown once at setup are the backup if you lose access to the authenticator - save them somewhere safe.
- Disabling 2FA from the same page requires a current code to confirm.
Two-factor authentication adds a one-time code on top of your password at sign-in. Recommended for any account.
- Open Settings → Security at /workspace/settings?tab=security.
- Click Enable two-factor authentication.
- Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).
- Enter the 6-digit code your app generates to confirm setup.
From now on, sign-in asks for a code from your authenticator after the password step. Save the recovery codes shown after setup somewhere safe - they're the backup if you lose access to your authenticator.
To turn it off, open the same page and click Disable two-factor authentication. You'll need a current code to confirm.
