How to enable 2FA on TinyURL
TinyURL 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 TinyURL account.
Step-by-step setup
- 1
Sign in to TinyURL and open your TinyURL 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 TinyURL 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 TinyURL account.
- 5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes TinyURL gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.
