Learn how set up two-factor authentication and secure your account.
Overview
Two-factor authentication is an extra layer of security we use to make sure that anyone trying to access an account is who they say they are. After you enter your username and password, we send you a text message containing a unique one-time authentication passcode. You must then enter the passcode into the app to verify your identity.
We ask for two-factor authentication when you:
- Log in to your account from a device or a browser that has not been used before.
- Export contact data.
