How to enable 2FA on Ring

← Ring overview Supported

Ring lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Ring account safe even if your password leaks.

Step-by-step setup

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

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