How to enable 2FA on GoDaddy

← GoDaddy overview Supported

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

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to GoDaddy and open Account Settings → Login & PIN.
2
Turn on two-step verification 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 GoDaddy 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 GoDaddy account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes GoDaddy gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
