Enable two-factor authentication on GMX.net to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, GMX.net asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to GMX.net and open your GMX.net 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.

Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code GMX.net 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 GMX.net account.
