What is two-factor authentication (2FA)?

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your online accounts by introducing a second step of verification when you sign in. This means, in addition to your password, you'll also need to enter a code which is generated by your 2FA app.

The verification code can be generated by the 2FA app on your phone, even if you don't have a network or cellular connection.

Recommended 2FA app

We highly recommend you use "Authy" as your 2FA app:

Google Authenticator

You can use Google Authenticator, but it's not as secure and convenient as Authy, as we explain in our article.

How to set up two-factor authentication

  1. Install a 2FA app (see options above).

  2. In your mymember.site Dashboard, go to My account > Security > Two-factor authentication / Authentication app:

  3. Enter your password:

  4. Scan the code with your 2FA app:

  5. Enter the code generated by your 2FA app:


  6. Save the single-use backup codes in a secure place where you can easily access anywhere, anytime (tip: we highly recommend using RoboForm on mobile and desktop for password management and storing sensitive/important info). If you ever lose access to your device, you can use these backup codes to log in:

  7. The next time you log in, 2FA will prompt you to enter a security code displayed in the Authentication app on mobile or desktop.
