How to enable 2FA on Shift4Shop

← Shift4Shop overview Supported

Shift4Shop supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Shift4Shop account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Shift4Shop and open your Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Shift4Shop gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on Shift4Shop can change — the official Shift4Shop 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
