How to enable 2FA in Rounded

Keep your account safe with 2FA

Written by Michelle

2FA adds an extra step when you sign in, so only you can access your account. You can use an authenticator app, SMS, or both.

NOTES:

  • 2FA can only be turned on from the desktop app.

  • Recovery codes can be used to access your account in case you lose access to your device and cannot receive two-factor authentication codes. Each code can only be used once. Please download your recovery codes and store them somewhere safe and accessible.

  • Authenticator apps will refuse tokens if there is a time sync drift more than any number of seconds. To prevent this, please ensure that your device's date and time are set to update automatically.

Option 1: Authenticator app

  1. Go to Settings → Account and security.
    ​

  2. Under Two-factor authentication, select Use an app.
    ​

  3. Enter your password → Confirm.
    ​

  4. Scan the QR code in your authenticator app, then enter the 6-digit code → Enable MFA.
    ​

  5. Download or copy your recovery codes.
    ​

  6. Check you saved them, then click Done.

Option 2: Using SMS

  1. Under Two-factor authentication, select Use SMS.

  2. Enter your mobile number and click Verify.

  3. Enter the verification code sent to your phone via text message.

  4. Click Done.
