How to enable 2FA on NS1

← NS1 overview Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on NS1 to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, NS1 asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to NS1 and open your NS1 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 NS1 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 NS1 account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes NS1 gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on NS1 can change — the official NS1 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
