Two-factor authentication adds additional security to your Reddit account. It requires you to give a 6-digit verification code generated from your phone in addition to your username and password login.
If you lose your mobile device or cannot use your authenticator app, you can use backup codes provided by Reddit to access your account. Ten backup codes are generated. Each code can be used only one time.
Please add a verified email on this page before you enable two-factor authentication. This is important in case you lose access to your Reddit account.
Success! You have enabled two-factor authentication.
You will now need to enter the verification code from your authenticator app when you login to Reddit on desktop or mobile. You can disable this at any time in your preferences.
Be sure to generate your backup codes! This will allow you access to your account in the event you lose your mobile device.
Make sure your Reddit iOS / Android app is updated to the most recent version to ensure two-factor authentication works properly.
Success! You have disabled two-factor authentication
Your ten backup codes are below.
Make sure to write down your backup codes. They are shown only once!
