How to enable 2FA on Grammarly

← Grammarly overview Supported

Grammarly 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 Grammarly account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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