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