  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

Menu names on Shift4Shop can change — the official Shift4Shop 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your Shift4Shop account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Shift4Shop 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 Shift4Shop doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Shift4Shop's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
