How to set up two-factor authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds a second step when you sign in, so your account stays protected even if someone learns your password. Recollect supports an authenticator app, email codes, and backup codes.

Click the gear icon and select Settings, then open the Security tab.

Authenticator app

Under Authenticator app, click Set up authenticator. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app such as 1Password, Authy, or Google Authenticator, or enter the setup key manually. Enter the six-digit code from the app and click Confirm & enable.

Email 2FA

Under Email 2FA, click Enable email 2FA to have Recollect email you a code when you sign in.

Backup codes

When you turn on two-factor authentication, Recollect gives you a set of one-time backup codes. Save them somewhere safe so you can sign in if you lose access to your authenticator or email. You can create a new set at any time with Regenerate.

The next time you sign in, you will be asked for a code from your authenticator app, an emailed code, or a backup code.
