Two-factor authentication codes help protect accounts even when a password is exposed. Krypt can keep those codes organized alongside the related account details.
Before you start
- Open the security settings for the service you want to protect.
- Choose an authenticator app or manual setup option on that service.
- Have Krypt unlocked before scanning or pasting the setup key.
Steps
- Open the two-factor code section in Krypt.
- Scan the service QR code or paste the manual setup key.
- Verify the current code with the service.
- Save the 2FA entry in Krypt.
- Store the service recovery codes in a secure note.
Safety note
Recovery codes can bypass your normal login flow. Do not save them as screenshots or leave them in unencrypted notes.
