Two-factor authentication

With two-factor authentication on, signing in to lium.io asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy and similar) after your password, Google, GitHub or fingerprint sign-in.

Turn it on

  1. In Account Settings, under Two-factor authentication, click Turn on.
  2. If you signed in more than 10 minutes ago, enter your current password or sign in again.
  3. Scan the QR code with your app, or type the key shown under it.
  4. Enter the 6-digit code your app shows and click Turn on.
  5. Save the recovery codes: they are shown once. Copy or download them, then click I saved them. Each code works once, in place of a code from the app.

Turning it on signs out every other browser and device signed in to your account. API keys keep working: if someone else may have one, delete it and create a new one under API keys.
