Enabling or Disabling Two-Step Verification

We recommend enabling two-step verification (sometimes referred to as two-factor authentication or 2FA) on your account for an added level of security. Two-step verification lets you require a text message code or authenticator application prompt be completed to access your account.

Enable or disable two-step verification within your Account Settings under the Account security section.

Log in to your account.

Navigate to the My Account dropdown in the top right of the screen and select Account settings.
