How to enable 2FA on Cobalt

← Cobalt overview Supported

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

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Cobalt and open your Cobalt account security settings.

Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

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

Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Cobalt gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
