Turning on 2-step sign-in (and losing your phone)

2-step sign-in asks for a 6-digit code from an app on your phone as well as your password — so a stolen password alone can't get in.

• Go to My account › Login & security › 2-step sign-in and press Turn on.
• Scan the QR code with an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy…) and type the code it shows.
• Save the backup codes somewhere safe — each one works once if you lose your phone.

Lost the phone AND the backup codes? Write to us from your account's email and we'll check it's you.
