In order to utilize 2FA, you will need a valid third-party 2FA app. While we are not affiliated with any 2FA app (nor do we recommend one in particular), these are some of the more popular 2FA apps available:
Google Authenticator iOS | Google Play
LastPass Authenticator iOS | Google Play
Microsoft Authenticator iOS | Google Play
Authy iOS | Google Play
To add 2FA to your account:
1. Navigate to My Account
2. Scroll down to Google Two Factor Authentication (2FA) and click Enable
3. You will see the warning: Are you sure you want to enable 2FA? If you do not complete the steps following this warning you will be unable to log in again. At this point, you have the option to click Cancel if you do not want to proceed.
4. If you want to proceed, click OK and you will see this popup:
5. Open your 2FA mobile app, scan the QR code or enter the unique number provided
That's it! Once you've completed that step through your 2FA app, it will be functional on your account.
If you ever want to remove 2FA, simply navigate back to the My Account screen and in the Google Two Factor Authentication (2FA) section, click Disable. You will receive the confirmation that 2FA has been removed.
