Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your account. We strongly recommend enabling it — it takes less than 2 minutes.
- Go to Settings > Security
Click your avatar in the bottom left sidebar, then select Security settings. - Click Enable two-factor authentication
You will be shown three options for your second factor. - Choose your 2FA method
Authenticator app is the most secure and recommended option. SMS text message is convenient. Email code is available as a backup. - Follow the setup steps for your chosen method
For an authenticator app: download Google Authenticator or Authy, scan the QR code shown, and enter the 6-digit code to confirm. For SMS: enter your mobile number and verify with the code sent. - Save your backup codes
We will show you 10 one-time backup codes. Save these somewhere safe — they are how you get back in if you lose access to your 2FA method. - 2FA is now active
Next time you sign in you will be asked for your code after entering your password.
Tips
- Store your backup codes in a password manager or print them and keep them somewhere safe.
- Canopy admins can enforce 2FA for all team members from Admin > Security settings.
