MS Authenticator App

How to enable 2FA on cron-job.org

cron-job.org lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your cron-job.org account safe even if your password leaks.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to cron-job.org and open your cron-job.org 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 cron-job.org 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 cron-job.org account.

  5. 5

    Save your backup codes.

    Store the recovery codes cron-job.org gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
