Choose once
The first sign-in asks how you want your code: by email, by Telegram (press Start in our bot) or with an authenticator app such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, 1Password or Authy. You also get ten one-time backup codes.
Email and Telegram codes
Codes last 10 minutes, work once and stop after five wrong tries; "Send a new code" sends another. Code emails are in German when your browser or phone is German, otherwise English. Switching method needs your account password.
Every sign-in
After the password, the 6-digit code is required. Remembered sign-ins without two-factor are asked to sign in again.
Passkeys and SSO
Passkeys and single sign-on (SAML, OIDC and SCIM) can be used instead, depending on your plan.
Frequently asked questions
Can two-factor be turned off?
No. It is always on for password sign-ins.
What if I lose my phone?
Use one of your backup codes to sign in, then set up two-factor again.
