How to enable 2FA on Flywheel
Flywheel lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Flywheel account safe even if your password leaks.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to Flywheel and open your Flywheel 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 Flywheel 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 Flywheel account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Flywheel gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on Flywheel can change — the official Flywheel 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
