Once enabled, you’re asked for a six-digit code on every sign-in, from every device — there is no trusted-device or remember-this-browser option. An authenticator app is the only supported second factor; there are no text-message codes, emailed codes, or security keys.

Turning it on

Go to Security in your profile and use Enable 2FA.
1

Add the account to your authenticator

Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, or copy the Secret Key and paste it in.
2

Save the secret key

Store the secret key in your password manager. It’s the only copy you’ll be shown, and it’s what lets you set up a replacement phone later.
3

Confirm the code

Enter the current six-digit code from your app and save.
There are no backup or recovery codes. The saved secret key, or an authenticator that syncs across devices, is your entire safety net.

Signing in

Enter the six digits from your app after your password. Codes are accepted a window either side of the current one, so slight clock drift is fine — but the verification step expires after five minutes, so if you’re turned away with a correct code, start the sign-in again.

If you lose your authenticator

There is no self-service recovery. Ask the agency handling your matter to send you a two-factor reset link — it arrives by email, is good for twenty-four hours, and walks you through setup again on the new device. Resetting your password does not switch two-factor off.

Moving to a new phone or app

You can’t add a second authenticator while one is active. Disable 2FA — which asks for a current code, so do it while the old app still works — then enable it again with the new one.
