Enabling Two-Factor Authentication

Enable a TOTP authenticator code as a second sign-in factor.

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.

  1. Open Settings → Security at /workspace/settings?tab=security.
  2. Click Enable two-factor authentication.
  3. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.).
  4. 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.
