How to enable 2FA on Ko-fi

← Ko-fi overview Supported

Ko-fi 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 Ko-fi account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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