How to enable 2FA on Engine Yard

← Engine Yard overview Supported

Protect your Engine Yard account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

Step-by-step setup

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

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