Does Docker work with authenticator apps like MS Authenticator App?

Yes. Docker supports TOTP authenticator apps, so you can generate its two-factor codes in MS Authenticator App.

Is Docker two-factor authentication free?

Yes. Enabling authenticator-app 2FA on Docker is free — you only need the free MS Authenticator App.

What if I lose access to my Docker 2FA codes?

Use the backup or recovery codes you saved during setup. If you didn't save them, contact Docker support to regain access, then re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.

How to enable 2FA on Docker

← Docker overview Supported

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

Step-by-step setup

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

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