How to Enable 2FA with Authy

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) can greatly enhance your account security. We recommend using Authy as it's more secure.

To set up 2FA with Authy follow the steps below: 

  • Download the Authy app
  • Login to your account on a different device
  • Hover over your username on the top right corner of the page and click Settings from the menu
  • On the settings menu, click Security
  • On the security page, under Two-factor authentication (2FA) settings, choose Authy
  • Click Activate now and a QR code appears
  • Scan the QR code with your phone by using the Authy app. A 6-digit code will appear on the app or you can copy the code for manual setup
  • Enter the 6-digit code into the field next to the QR code. Your code will be automatically submitted once you input the code
  • Once your code is automatically submitted, a menu will appear
    • To verify that 2FA via Twilio Authy is turned on, make sure it says Activated
    • For more security, check all the toggles under the Enable 2FA column
  • When all toggles are blue, you’re done! 2FA via Authy is set up
