Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

You can secure your Polymarket account with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for added protection.

Setting Up 2FA

To set up 2FA:

1. Go to Account Settings.

2. Click Enable 2FA.

3. Add your 2FA key to your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator or Authy).

4. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.

5. Save your Recovery Key somewhere secure.

6. Finish setup.

Logging In with 2FA

To log in when 2FA is enabled:

1. Log in with your email and password.

2. Enter the 6-digit code sent to your email.

3. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.

4. You're logged in.

Turning Off 2FA (while logged in)

To turn off 2FA:

1. Go to Account Settings.

2. Click Enable 2FA again (this opens the disable option).

3. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator app.

4. If you don't have access to your authenticator app, use your Recovery Key instead.

5. 2FA will be turned off.

Lost access to your 2FA?

If you lose access to your authenticator app, you can use your Recovery Key to log in.

Once you log in with the recovery key, 2FA will be disabled, and you can set it up again.

Never share your 2FA Recovery Key — not even with Polymarket staff.

If someone gains access to your recovery key, they can access your account and funds.
