How to enable 2FA on Delinea

← Delinea overview Supported

Delinea 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 Delinea account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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