Instant-Gaming 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App
Instant-Gaming lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Instant-Gaming account safe even if your password leaks.
A Instant-Gaming account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. Instant-Gaming 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 Instant-Gaming shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Instant-Gaming recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
How to recover your Instant-Gaming account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Instant-Gaming 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 Instant-Gaming doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Instant-Gaming's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
