How to enable 2FA on HuggingFace

← HuggingFace overview Supported

HuggingFace 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 HuggingFace account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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