How to enable 2FA on Paycor

← Paycor overview Supported

Paycor 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 Paycor account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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