Viewing Your 2FA Status

To view your current 2FA setup:

1. Go to Account Settings
2. Open the Security tab
3. Review the 2FA section

You’ll see which methods are enrolled, which are available to add, and any options to manage existing methods.

Setting a Preferred Method

If you have more than one 2FA method enrolled, you can choose which one to use by default:

1. Open Security tab
2. Find the 2FA preferences section
3. Set as Preferred and Save

Your preferred method is used when you log in, but other enrolled methods remain available as backups.

Adding a Second Method

Adding an additional 2FA method gives you a backup option if your primary method isn’t available.

1. Follow the enrollment steps for the additional method
2. Once enrolled, both methods remain active
3. Set your preferred method if needed

Having more than one method helps prevent lockouts and makes it easier to switch devices. We strongly encourage all users to set up a backup 2FA method.

Removing a Method

To remove a 2FA method:

1. Open Security settings
2. Find the method you want to remove
3. Select Remove and confirm

If your organization requires 2FA, you must keep at least one method enrolled. Consider adding a backup method before removing your current one.
