Account & Security

Two-factor authentication

Add a second sign-in check using an authenticator or security key.

Protection beyond the password

Two-factor authentication adds a second check after your password. If someone learns the password, they still need the registered second factor to sign in.

Supported security direction

Kiyo's strong second-factor options are an authenticator app and a compatible security key. SMS is not presented as the strongest account protection.

Using an authenticator app

  1. Open Two-factor authentication in Security.
  2. Choose the authenticator method.
  3. Scan the QR code using your authenticator app.
  4. Enter the temporary code to confirm setup.
  5. Store the recovery codes securely.

Recovery codes

Recovery codes provide a backup when the normal second factor is unavailable. Keep them offline or in a secure password manager, never in a public file or support message. Kiyo shows whether codes are single-use in the security setup.
