Set up 2FA for Shopify

Open the service security settings

Shopify account → Security → Two-step authentication

Open your profile from Shopify admin, then Security. Turn on two-step authentication, confirm your password and select Authenticator app.

Add the account in Authenticator

1. Keep the setup screen open. In Authenticator, use the add-account control.
2. Scan the service’s setup QR code. On one phone, choose manual entry and copy the setup key instead.
3. Give the entry a recognizable account label. Never share the setup key or QR code.

See the account setup guide

Confirm and keep a recovery method

Return to the service and enter the current code from your new entry. Setup is complete only after the service accepts it.

Confirm the current six-digit code and save recovery codes. Your organization may require two-step authentication or control other sign-in settings.

If the code is rejected

Check the account, wait for a fresh code and check automatic device time. Keep the service setup page open until confirmation succeeds.
