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

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to TP-Link and open your TP-Link account security settings.

Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
