Two-factor authentication (2FA) asks for a code from your phone as well as your password when you log in. Even if someone learns your password, they can’t get in without your phone.

Scan the QR code

Follow the on-screen steps: scan the QR code with your authenticator app, then type the 6-digit code it shows to confirm.
5

Save your backup code

Write down or securely store the backup code you’re shown. You’ll need it if you lose your phone.
The status changes from Disabled to enabled. From now on, you’ll enter a code from your app each time you log in.
Turning on 2FA earns +100 Bolts and the Fort Knox badge in FREAK Pass.

Sign in with Google

Under Linked Accounts in Security Settings, click Sign in with Google to connect your Google account. After that, you can log in with one click. We only use it to verify who you are and never post on your behalf. To disconnect it, click Unlink next to the account in the list.

Single Sign-On for connected apps

Single Sign-On lets our other panels open your Billing Area without asking you to log in again.
1

Open Account Security

Go to Account Security, or click your name and choose Account Security.
2

Choose ON or OFF

Leave Single Sign-On ON for convenience, or switch it OFF if you’ve given people access to other panels and don’t want them reaching your billing account.

Lost your phone?

Use the backup code instead of an app code when you log in, then set up 2FA again on your new phone.
Contact support from your account email address. We’ll verify your identity before turning off 2FA.
