How to enable 2FA on Google Meet

← Google Meet overview Supported

Google Meet 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 Google Meet account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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