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