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

How to recover your Target account#

If you lose access to your authenticator, most Target 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 Target's account-recovery or support process to regain access (see the official Target documentation ↗). Saving your recovery codes when you enable 2FA is the single best way to avoid being locked out.
