How to enable 2FA on HP

← HP overview Supported

HP 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 HP account.

Step-by-step setup

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