The Lookout Way

Two-factor authentication (2FA), or Two-Step Verification, is a secure sign-in process that combines your password with a second factor, such as a code sent to your phone.

Enhanced Security: Even if someone obtains your password, they cannot log in without your second form of authentication.

Protection Against Credential Theft: 2FA adds a critical layer of defence, making unauthorised access much more difficult.

Increased Confidence: Your account is significantly more secure with an additional layer of protection.

This ensures that even if your password is compromised, access is blocked without the authentication code.

 To set up two-factor authentication with Lookout, you'll first need an authenticator app on your device.

While there are many authenticator apps available, most function similarly. The two most popular options are Google Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator.

You can download your preferred app for iOS (Apple) or Android using the links below.

After installing your preferred authenticator app on your device, you can configure two-factor authentication in Lookout.

If enabling two-factor authentication for the first time or after a reset, you'll be directed to a page to complete the 2FA activation immediately after logging in. Click Begin.

Open the authenticator app you have installed on your device and add your Lookout account by scanning the QR code displayed on the activation screen using your device camera.

Enter the 6-digit confirmation code displayed on your authenticator app and click Activate.
