2FA methods Pinterest supports#

  • SMS text message
  • Proprietary app

Pinterest does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.

How to keep your Pinterest account secure#

Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method Pinterest offers, and stay alert to phishing. See Pinterest's official security documentation ↗. If Pinterest adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use Authenticator App - Novaz.

How to recover your Pinterest account#

If you lose access to your authenticator, most Pinterest accounts are recovered with the backup or recovery codes you saved when you turned on 2FA — so store them somewhere safe, separate from your phone. If you didn't save them, use Pinterest's account-recovery or support process to regain access (see the official Pinterest documentation ↗). Saving your recovery codes when you enable 2FA is the single best way to avoid being locked out.
