MS Authenticator App

How to enable 2FA on StatusCake

StatusCake 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 StatusCake account.

Step-by-step setup

  1. 1

    Sign in to StatusCake and open your StatusCake 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 StatusCake 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 StatusCake account.

  5. 5

    Save your backup codes.

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

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