How to enable 2FA on Assembla

← Assembla overview Supported

Assembla 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 Assembla account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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