How to enable 2FA on Ting

← Ting overview Supported

Ting 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 Ting account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Ting and open your Ting 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 Ting 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 Ting account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Ting gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

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