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