Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security and protects your account from unauthorized entry.

With the 2FA enabled, you'll have to enter an additional security code generated by an authentication app to log in to Space.

Enable two-factor authentication

  1. Download and install an authentication app of your choice on your mobile device or desktop and create a new account for Space. You can use any app that supports TOTP/RFC standard, such as:

    • Google Authenticator (Android, iOS)

    • Authy (Android, iOS, Mac OS, Windows)

    • 1Password (Android, iOS)

  2. Log in to Space.

  3. On the top left, click your avatar then choose Preferences → 2FA.

  4. Click the Set up 2FA... button.

  5. Scan the QR code with your device or provide your app with the key, if it can't recognize the QR code:

  6. Your app will generate a 6-digit code. Enter the code into the field and click Confirm.

    The next time you log in to Space, you will be asked for a code generated by your app.

Disable two-factor authentication

  1. On the top left, click your avatar then choose Preferences → 2FA.
