Turn on two-factor authentication

2 min read · Updated Oct 29, 2026

Two-factor authentication asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app each time you sign in, so nobody else can get in with just your password. Recall requires it for every account.

Before you begin

Install an authenticator app, like the Passwords app on iPhone, Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

Turn it on

  1. Go to Settings and open the Security tab.
  2. Under Two Factor Authentication, select Enable. You may be asked for your password.
  3. Add Recall to your authenticator app:
    • On a computer, scan the QR code with your phone.
    • On the same phone you're using Recall on, copy the Setup Key and paste it into your authenticator app.
  4. Type the 6-digit code your app shows into Code and select Confirm. Two-factor isn't on until you do this.
  5. Save your recovery codes somewhere safe, like a password manager.

Important: Recovery codes are your way back in if you lose your phone. Each one works once. Select Show Recovery Codes to see them again, or Regenerate Recovery Codes to replace them.

Signing in with two-factor

After your email and password, enter the code from your app. You can also select Use a recovery code, or Use a passkey instead if you've added a passkey.
