How to enable 2FA on Deel
Deel lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Deel account safe even if your password leaks.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to Deel and open your Deel 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 Deel 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 Deel account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Deel gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on Deel can change — the official Deel 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
