How to enable 2FA on RedShelf

← RedShelf overview Supported

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

Step-by-step setup

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

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