Deutsche Post 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App
Deutsche Post lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Deutsche Post account safe even if your password leaks.
A Deutsche Post account can hold your deliveries and addresses, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Deutsche Post also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

If Deutsche Post shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Deutsche Post recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
How to recover your Deutsche Post account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Deutsche Post gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Deutsche Post doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Deutsche Post's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
