How to enable 2FA on Independer
Independer 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 Independer account.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to Independer and open your Independer 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 Independer 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 Independer account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Independer gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
