Hatch 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Hatch lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Hatch account safe even if your password leaks.
A Hatch account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Hatch secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

Save a way to recover your account.
If Hatch shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Hatch recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
Menu names on Hatch can change — the official Hatch 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your Hatch account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Hatch 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 Hatch doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Hatch's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
