How to Enable 2FA for Notion

Updated: Oct 28



Securing your Notion workspace is vital for protecting your notes, documents, projects, and any sensitive information stored within. As Notion becomes a central hub for personal and team productivity, the importance of implementing robust security measures escalates. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Notion adds an essential layer of security, requiring not just a password but also a verification step through a device you own. This method significantly lowers the risk of unauthorized access, ensuring that your digital workspace and all its contents remain secure. This guide will assist you in enabling 2-Step Verification for your Notion account, enhancing the protection of your valuable work and data. Activating 2FA is a critical step in safeguarding your Notion workspace against unauthorized access, providing peace of mind as you organize and collaborate on your most important projects.


1. Download Authenticator App Before you can set up 2-Step Verification for your Notion account, you'll need to download the Authenticator app on your device. You can find it by searching in the App Store for Apple devices or on Google Play for Android devices.


Step 2: Sign into your Notion account by visiting the Notion website and logging in with your credentials.


Step 3: Once logged in, click on your profile icon at the bottom-left corner of the page to access the settings menu.


Step 4: In the settings menu, select "Settings & Members" from the sidebar.


Step 5: Navigate to the "Security" tab within the Settings & Members section.


Step 6: Look for the "Two-Factor Authentication" option and click on the "Enable" button next to it.


Step 7: Notion will prompt you to choose a method for 2FA. Select "Authenticator App" from the available options.


Step 8: A QR code will be displayed on the screen. Open the Authenticator app on your device, tap the plus icon (+) to add a new service, and scan the QR code displayed on your computer screen.


Step 9: After scanning the QR code, Authenticator will provide you with a 6-digit verification code. Enter this code into the Notion setup page to verify the connection and click "Verify."


Step 10: Once the verification is successful, Notion may provide you with backup codes. It's crucial to save these codes in a secure place, as they can be used to access your account if you lose access to the Authenticator app.


Step 11: Complete any additional steps as required by Notion to finalize the setup of 2FA on your account.


With these steps, you've successfully added an extra layer of security to your Notion account using Two-Factor Authentication with the Authenticator app. This setup ensures that your account is protected by both your password and a code generated by the app, significantly enhancing the security of your Notion account.https://go.thirtyfive.co/sa
