2FA methods Carbonite supports#
- SMS text message
- Phone call
Carbonite does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.
How to keep your Carbonite account secure#
Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method Carbonite offers, and stay alert to phishing. See Carbonite's official security documentation ↗. If Carbonite adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use Authenticator App - Novaz.
How to recover your Carbonite account#
If you lose access to your authenticator, most Carbonite accounts are recovered with the backup or recovery codes you saved when you turned on 2FA — so store them somewhere safe, separate from your phone. If you didn't save them, use Carbonite's account-recovery or support process to regain access (see the official Carbonite documentation ↗). Saving your recovery codes when you enable 2FA is the single best way to avoid being locked out.
