How to enable 2FA on Remote Desktop Manager

← Remote Desktop Manager overview Supported

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

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