How to setup 2FA for Activision account?
Step-by-step guide to setting up two-factor authentication on Activision using an authenticator app.
Download Authenticator App
Before we start, download and install the Authenticator App from your device's App Store.
To setup 2FA for your Activision account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Log in to your account on the Activision website.
Go to the PRIVACY & SETTINGS section.
Select ENABLE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.
In this step, a QR code containing the secret key is displayed. Next, you need to use our Authenticator App to scan this QR code. Please keep this popup open to complete the setup.
Open our Authenticator App, click the + button at the bottom right of the screen, then hold your device near the computer screen to scan the QR code.
After successfully scanning, a 6-digit code will be shown at the bottom of the screen. Please note that this code refreshes every 30 seconds.
Return to the Activision webpage, enter your Activision account password, then enter the 6-digit code displayed in step 6.
Select Activate to complete the setup.
Remember to click "Save" in the Authenticator App to save your account, or you may lose access to your account!
After setting up 2FA, you will also be given ten backup codes to use if you can't access your authenticator app. We recommend adding these backup codes to our Authenticator App for safekeeping.
