How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for eBay

To keep your eBay account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how eBay 2FA works, which methods eBay supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your eBay 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.

2FA methods eBay supports

  • SMS text message
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Proprietary app

An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.

How to enable or set up 2FA for eBay

eBay supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step eBay guide, or read the official eBay documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.

How to recover your eBay account

If you've lost access to your eBay account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact eBay support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
