How to enable 2FA on Render

← Render overview Supported

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

Step-by-step setup

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