How to enable 2FA on STRATO
STRATO 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 STRATO account.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to STRATO and open your STRATO 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 STRATO 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 STRATO account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes STRATO gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
Menu names on STRATO can change — the official STRATO 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
