Turn on two-step verification
A 6-digit code from your phone after your password, so a stolen password is not enough.
With two-step verification, logging in needs your password and a 6-digit code from an authenticator app on your phone. Even someone who learns your password cannot log in or move your domains.
- Install an authenticator app (any standard one) on your phone.
- Open Security and find Two-step verification.
- In the app add an account and scan the code, or enter the key shown (or open the link on your phone).
- Enter the code the app shows to confirm.
- Save your recovery codes now. Each works once if you lose your phone and they are shown only this time.
- Lost your phone? Use a recovery code at the log-in step; we email you when one is used.
- Code not accepted? Make sure your phone's time is set automatically, then use the newest code.
- New recovery codes: from the same page, press Get new recovery codes; the old ones stop working.
- Turn it off: from the same page, with your password.
