Two-factor login

Available on selected accounts. Two-factor login is switched on for some school and organization accounts only. If you buy photos, you won't need it. If your organization uses it, you'll see Two-Factor Authentication on your profile.

Two-factor login asks for a 6-digit code from an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy, each time you sign in. Codes come from the app only, not by text message or email.

  1. Go to My Profile and, under Two-Factor Authentication, click Set up two-factor authentication.

  2. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app.

  3. Type the code from the app in Enter one-time password and click Verify.

Next time you sign in, type the code from your app when you see Enter your 6-digit code. Account owners and admins can require it for everyone in their team: go to Settings, find the Security section and turn on Enforce two-factor authentication for all team members.
