Account Security & 2FA

Stackpad supports two-factor authentication (2FA) to protect your account. When enabled, you need both your password and a code from your authenticator app to log in.

Enabling two-factor authentication

  1. Go to User Settings → Security
  2. Click Enable 2FA
  3. Enter your password to confirm your identity
  4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy, or any TOTP-compatible app)
  5. Enter the 6-digit code from your app to verify
  6. Save your backup codes — you’ll get 10 single-use codes for emergency access

Logging in with 2FA

After entering your email and password, you’ll be prompted for a 6-digit code. Enter the current code from your authenticator app to complete login.

Backup codes

Backup codes are 10 single-use codes generated when you enable 2FA. Use one if you can’t access your authenticator app:

  • Each code can only be used once
  • You can download or copy them from the Security settings page
  • You can regenerate backup codes at any time (this invalidates all previous codes)

Disabling 2FA

  1. Go to User Settings → Security
  2. Click Disable 2FA
  3. Enter your password to confirm

Supported authenticator apps

Any app that supports TOTP (Time-based One-Time Password) works:

  • Google Authenticator
  • 1Password
  • Authy
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • Bitwarden
