How to enable 2FA on GoTo
Enable two-factor authentication on GoTo to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, GoTo asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to GoTo and open your GoTo 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 GoTo 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 GoTo account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes GoTo gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on GoTo can change — the official GoTo 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
