How to enable 2FA on Segment
Enable two-factor authentication on Segment to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Segment asks for a rotating code from MS Authenticator App in addition to your password.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to Segment and open your Segment 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 Segment 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 Segment account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Segment gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on Segment can change — the official Segment 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
