MS Authenticator App

How to enable 2FA on Notion

Notion overview Supported

Protect your Notion account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to Notion and open your Notion 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 Notion 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 Notion account.

  5. 5

    Save your backup codes.

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

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