# Lens ID Just Leveled-Up Your Security with Two-Factor Authentication

Lauri Nevala May 6, 2025 1 min read

Today we're thrilled to announce that **Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) is now available for every Lens ID account**. 2FA adds a second, independent check — a time‑based one‑time passcode (OTP) generated on your phone — on top of your password. Even if someone guesses or steals your password, they still can't get in without that additional code.

## Why this matters

- **Stronger protection against phishing and password reuse.** A leaked password by itself is no longer enough for attackers.
- **Peace of mind across every Lens product.** Your Lens ID unlocks the entire Lens ecosystem. Securing it secures *everything* you use with us.
- **Industry‑grade security, without the hassle.** We designed the setup to take less than 30 seconds and work with an authenticator app you already use — Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Free OTP.

## How 2FA works in Lens ID

1. **Turn it on once**: Head to **Account → Two‑Factor Authentication** and flip the switch.
2. **Scan & save**: On the next login, use your favorite authenticator app to scan the QR code — or use the manual setup option — to configure the app.
3. **Confirm**: Enter the 6‑digit code from the app. Done — 2FA is live!
4. **Future sign‑ins**: After you enter your Lens ID password we'll ask for that 6‑digit code.

## Available to everyone, starting now

The feature is rolling out to all Lens ID accounts today — just toggle it on and enjoy the extra layer of protection.
