How to enable 2FA on Fidelity Investments

← Fidelity Investments overview Supported

Fidelity Investments 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 Fidelity Investments account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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