How to setup 2FA for Kickstarter account?
Step-by-step guide to setting up two-factor authentication on Kickstarter 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 Kickstarter account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Log in to your account on the Kickstarter website, then click on your profile icon at the top right corner and select "Account settings".
Scroll down to the "Security" section and click on "Set up two-factor authentication".
Verify your Kickstarter password, then click "Continue".
Select "Authenticator App" as your 2FA method, then click "Next".
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 Kickstarter webpage, enter the 6-digit code displayed in step 7, and then click "Verify".
Remember to click "Save" in the Authenticator App to save your account, or you may lose access to your account!
Add a backup method to receive a verification code if you lose access to your primary device. This step is optional but highly recommended.
Now, you have successfully setup 2FA for your Kickstarter account. From now on, when you attempt to sign in to your Kickstarter account, you will need to use our Authenticator App.
