How to enable 2FA on Fathom
Protect your Fathom 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 Fathom and open your Fathom 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 Fathom 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 Fathom account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Fathom gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on Fathom can change — the official Fathom 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
