Authenticator app for Minecraft
How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for Minecraft
To keep your Minecraft account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how Minecraft 2FA works, which methods Minecraft supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your Minecraft 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.
2FA methods Minecraft supports
- SMS text message
- Phone call
- Email code
- 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 Minecraft
Minecraft supports two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of protection. Follow our step-by-step Minecraft guide, or read the official Minecraft documentation ↗ for the exact, up-to-date steps.
How to recover your Minecraft account
If you've lost access to your Minecraft account, use the backup codes you saved when enabling 2FA, or contact Minecraft support to regain access. Once you're back in, re-add the account to MS Authenticator App.
