How do I add a passkey or an authenticator app?

In your account’s security settings you can add a passkey (Face ID, Touch ID, your phone or a security key) or an authenticator app. It is optional: it adds a second lock and signs you in with one tap, and the email code always works too.

A passkey

One tap, nothing to type, nothing to phish. Add it in Safari or Chrome on the device you use. Passkeys do not work inside the Facebook, Instagram or Telegram browsers; open the page in Safari or Chrome instead.

An authenticator app

Works on any device: scan the code with the app, then type the number it shows.

Recovery codes

When you add your first lock you get recovery codes. Keep them somewhere safe; each one works once, if you lose your phone.

Job seekers find these settings on their account page, employers under Security. An employer account holds other people’s CVs, so a second lock there is worth the two minutes.
