How to enable 2FA on APNIC

← APNIC overview Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on APNIC to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, APNIC asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to APNIC and open your APNIC 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 APNIC 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 APNIC account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes APNIC gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

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