MS Authenticator App

How to enable 2FA on SketchUp

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

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to SketchUp and open your SketchUp account security settings.

  2. 2

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

    Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

  3. 3

    Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.

    Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code SketchUp displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  4. 4

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your SketchUp account.

  5. 5

    Save your backup codes.

    Store the recovery codes SketchUp gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

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