How to set up or enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for Proton
To keep your Proton account secure, enable two-factor authentication (2FA). This page explains how Proton 2FA works, which methods Proton supports, and how to protect and recover your account. The most secure option is an authenticator app: store your Proton 2FA codes in MS Authenticator App and generate a fresh 6-digit code every time you sign in.
2FA methods Proton supports
- Authenticator app (TOTP)
- Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
An authenticator app (TOTP) is the sweet spot: free, offline, and not vulnerable to SIM-swap attacks like SMS.
