← Talkdesk overview Supported

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

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Talkdesk and open your Talkdesk 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.

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

Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your Talkdesk account.
