Use a passkey · Recommended

A passkey lives on this device and nowhere else. You open it with your fingerprint, your face or your device PIN. There is nothing to remember or type. Best if you work mostly from one phone or laptop.

Use an authenticator app

An app on your phone shows a fresh 6-digit code every 30 seconds. You type that code to sign in. Better if you move between several computers, or if colleagues share one workstation.

Type this key into your authenticator app by hand instead. It works the same way.

Which apps work?

Every standard authenticator app works, including Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator. For the strongest setup we recommend a SHA-256 app: Raivo or 2FAS (iPhone), Aegis (Android), 1Password, Bitwarden, Authy, or Ente Auth. Any of these works well. More about authenticator apps.

Each code signs you in once if you lose your phone or your authenticator app. We create them and show them only here. After this we cannot show them again or recover them for you. Save them somewhere you can reach without your phone.
