When you have 2FA enabled, you will be asked to enter a security code each time you log in to your Activision account. After entering your email address and password, a second screen will appear asking you to enter a two-factor authentication code. The code will be generated by the authenticator app you choose* when you enable 2FA.

Follow these steps to set up 2FA.

1. Download and install a supported authenticator app* on your smartphone or tablet.
2. Log in to your Activision account.

4. Select ENABLE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION.
5. Check your inbox for an email with a code. Enter the code to confirm you’re the owner of the account.
   • Please note: You will only need to confirm you own an account once per login session. If you’ve already confirmed to make other changes to your account, you will not need to confirm again.
6. Open the authenticator app to add your Activision account.
   • Authy: Select Add Account and Scan QR Code

   • Google Authenticator: Tap the plus (+) sign and select Scan a QR code

After setting up 2FA, you will also be given ten backup codes to use if you can't access your authenticator app.

Be sure to keep your backup codes somewhere safe but accessible. Since the backup codes are mainly used when you cannot access your authenticator app, we recommend keeping your backup codes somewhere other than on the device with the app.

IMPORTANT! Backup codes should not be used as the primary way to log in to your account. Only use a backup code when you cannot access your authenticator app (e.g., lost, broken, or new device). If you get a new device, be sure to disable and then reenable 2FA on your Activision account using a supported authenticator app* on your new device.
