Two-step sign-in

Ask for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app as well as your password, and keep backup codes for when you don't have your phone.

With two-step sign-in on, signing in with your password also asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app on your phone, such as Google Authenticator or 1Password. Someone who learns your password still can't get in.

Turn it on

  1. In Sign-in and security, turn on Two-step sign-in, and type your password.
  2. In your authenticator app, add an account and scan the code on the screen. Can't scan it? Type the setup key shown below it instead.
  3. Type the 6-digit code the app shows, and choose Turn on.
  4. Save your 10 backup codes with Copy or Download, tick I've saved these codes, and choose Done. They're shown only this once.

Signing in

After your password, type the newest code from the app, and choose Verify and sign in. Tick Trust this device for 30 days to skip the code on that browser, but not on a shared computer.

No phone with you?

Choose Use a backup code instead. Each backup code works once. When 3 or fewer are left, Amplikite says so: choose Make new codes, and the old ones stop working.

Turn it off

Turn off Two-step sign-in and type your password. If you sign in only with Google, type a code from your app or a backup code instead. We email you when it's turned on or off.
