How to setup 2FA for Zoom account?
Step-by-step guide to setting up two-factor authentication on Zoom 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 Zoom account with our Authenticator App, you need to follow the next steps:
Sign in to the Zoom web portal.
In the navigation menu, click Profile.
Under the Sign In section, to the right of Two-Factor Authentication, click Turn On.
Enter your password to turn on two-factor authentication, then click Next.
To the right of Authentication App, click Set Up.
Re-enter your password, 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 Zoom webpage, click Next.
Enter the 6-digit code displayed in step 9, and then click Verify.
Zoom will display a list of recovery codes. If you lose your mobile device, you can use a recovery code instead of a generated 6-digit code to sign in. Click Download or Print to store the recovery codes. Each recovery code can only be used once.
Remember to click "Save" in the Authenticator App to save your account, or you may lose access to your account!
Click Done.
Now, you have successfully setup 2FA for your Zoom account. From now on, when you attempt to sign in to your Zoom account, you will need to use our Authenticator App.
