How to enable 2FA on Kriptomat
Kriptomat 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 Kriptomat account.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to Kriptomat and open your Kriptomat 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 Kriptomat 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 Kriptomat account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Kriptomat gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on Kriptomat can change — the official Kriptomat 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
