How to enable 2FA on Ameriprise Financial

← Ameriprise Financial overview Supported

Ameriprise Financial supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Ameriprise Financial account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Ameriprise Financial and open your Ameriprise Financial account security settings.
2
Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.
3
Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.
Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Ameriprise Financial displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
4
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Ameriprise Financial account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Ameriprise Financial gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on Ameriprise Financial can change — the official Ameriprise Financial 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
