MS Authenticator App

How to enable 2FA on Mapbox

Mapbox overview Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on Mapbox to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Mapbox asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to Mapbox and open your Mapbox account security settings.

  2. 2

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

    Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

  3. 3

    Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.

    Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Mapbox displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  4. 4

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Mapbox account.

  5. 5

    Save your backup codes.

    Store the recovery codes Mapbox gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

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