Setting Up Two-Factor Authentication

Add an extra layer of security to your account

Last updated: January 20, 2026

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds extra security to your account. Even if someone gets your password, they can't log in without your phone.

What Is Two-Factor Authentication?#

With 2FA enabled, logging in requires two things:

  1. Your password (something you know)
  2. A code from your phone (something you have)

This makes your account much harder to hack.

Who Should Use 2FA?#

We recommend 2FA for everyone, but it's especially important for:

  • Organization admins
  • Worship leaders managing team accounts
  • Anyone with billing access
  • Users with large song libraries

Setting Up 2FA#

Step 1: Go to Security Settings#

  1. Click your profile pictureSettings
  2. Select Security
  3. Find Two-Factor Authentication

Step 2: Choose Your Method#

We support two 2FA methods:

Authenticator App (Recommended)

  • Use apps like Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password
  • Generates a new code every 30 seconds
  • Works offline

SMS Text Message

  • Receive codes via text message
  • Requires a mobile phone number
  • Convenient but less secure than an app

Step 3: Set Up Your Authenticator#

For authenticator apps:

  1. Click Set Up Authenticator App
  2. Open your authenticator app
  3. Scan the QR code shown on screen
  4. Enter the 6-digit code from your app
  5. Click Verify

Step 4: Save Your Backup Codes#

We'll give you backup codes in case you lose your phone:

  1. Copy or download the backup codes
  2. Store them somewhere safe (not on your phone!)
  3. Each code can only be used once

Logging In with 2FA#

After enabling 2FA:

  1. Enter your email and password as usual
  2. Enter the 6-digit code from your app
  3. Optionally check "Trust this device" for 30 days

Lost Access to 2FA?#

If you lose your phone or can't access your authenticator:

  1. Use one of your backup codes to log in
  2. Once logged in, set up 2FA again with a new device

If you've lost your backup codes too, contact support.
