Hewlett Packard Enterprise 2FA Setup Guide
Protect your Hewlett Packard Enterprise account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.
A Hewlett Packard Enterprise account can hold your files and backups of everything else, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Hewlett Packard Enterprise also offers security keys and a proprietary app. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Hewlett Packard Enterprise also supports hardware security keys.

How to recover your Hewlett Packard Enterprise account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Hewlett Packard Enterprise 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 Hewlett Packard Enterprise doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Hewlett Packard Enterprise's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
