Two-factor protection and recovery codes
How to turn on sign-in with an authenticator app code, why to keep recovery codes, and how to turn the protection off.
With two-factor protection, signing in to the website and the launcher also requires a code from an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Aegis or 1Password. Even if someone learns your password, they can't sign in without your phone.
How to turn it on
In your account, open “Security” and click “Turn on” under “Two-factor protection”.
Scan the QR code with your authenticator app. If that doesn't work, enter the key manually.
Enter the 6 digits from the app and click “Turn on protection”.
Save your recovery codes: copy them or download the .txt file. We won't show them again.
Tick “I've saved my recovery codes” and click “Done”.
How to turn it off
In the same section, click “Turn off” and confirm with an app code, a recovery code or your password, if you have one. After that, the old recovery codes stop working.
