MS Authenticator App

How to enable 2FA on Bugzilla@Mozilla

Bugzilla@Mozilla 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 Bugzilla@Mozilla account.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to Bugzilla@Mozilla and open your Bugzilla@Mozilla account security settings.

  2. 2

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

    Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

  3. 3

    Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.

    Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Bugzilla@Mozilla displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  4. 4

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Bugzilla@Mozilla account.

  5. 5

    Save your backup codes.

    Store the recovery codes Bugzilla@Mozilla gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

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