How to enable 2FA on JetBrains

← JetBrains overview Supported

JetBrains 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 JetBrains account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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