Before we start, download and install the Authenticator App from your device's App Store.
To setup 2FA for your Twitch account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Log in to your account on the Twitch website, click your avatar on the top right corner, then select "Settings".
Navigate to the "Security and Privacy" section.
Select "Set Up Two-Factor Authentication".
Click "Enable 2FA".
Enter your phone number (we do not recommend using VOIP numbers) and select "Continue".
Enter the 7-digit verification code you receive via text message and select "Continue".
A QR code containing the secret key will be displayed. 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 Twitch webpage, enter the 6-digit code displayed in step 9, and then click "Submit".
Remember to click "Save" in the Authenticator App to save your account, or you may lose access to your account!
Now, you have successfully setup 2FA for your Twitch account. From now on, when you attempt to sign in to your Twitch account, you will need to use our Authenticator App.
