Two-step authentication (also known as two-factor authentication or 2FA) adds an extra layer of protection to your Mozilla account, especially if your password is compromised.
Once enabled, signing in requires both your password and a unique authentication code generated by an authenticator app. This prevents unauthorized access to your account even if someone knows your password.

How do I enable two-step authentication?
Step one - Choose an authenticator app
Before you get started, install the authenticator application of your choice. Here are some options (this is not an exclusive list of supported applications):
- Ente Auth: GitHub (Windows, Linux, Android & macOS), App Store (iOS), Google Play & F-Droid (Android). The basic web version is only for those who downloaded the above apps. Includes backups.
- Zoho OneAuth: Android, iOS & macOS, Windows. Includes backups.
- Twilio Authy Authenticator: Android, iOS & macOS. Includes backups.
- Google Authenticator: Android, iOS & macOS.
- Duo Mobile: Android, iOS & macOS.
- FreeOTP: Android, iOS & macOS.
- KeepassXC: Linux, macOS, Windows.
Step two - Connect your authenticator app
Now that one of the applications is installed, you can set up two-step authentication for your Mozilla account:
- Sign in to your Mozilla account, then open your Mozilla account settings. Alternatively, click your Mozilla account in the Firefox toolbar and select Manage account.
- You can also click the menu button in Firefox, select your Mozilla account, and then click Manage account.

Step three – Set up a recovery method
At this step, you’ll be asked to set up a recovery method for your Mozilla account. This is required to complete two-step authentication (2FA) setup.
Most users will see a list of backup authentication codes at this step but, depending on your eligibility, you may see a prompt allowing you to choose between:
- Backup authentication codes – a list of one-time use codes to save in a secure location.
- Recovery phone – a phone number that can receive a one-time password (OTP) via SMS if you lose access to your authenticator app.
Backup authentication codes
- A list of one-time use backup authentication codes will be displayed. These codes can be used in the event you lose access to the authenticator app you just set up.
- Download, copy or print your backup authentication codes, and save them in a safe place. Click .
- Paste one of the codes to confirm that you have saved them (if you haven't, click the arrow on the left to go back to the list of codes).
- Click .
The setup of two-step authentication on your Mozilla account is now complete!
