Turn on two-factor authentication to protect the console and gate sensitive actions behind a one-time code.

Why 2FA on the console

The console controls agents that run on real machines. Two-factor authentication means a stolen password alone is not enough to start a task or delete an agent.

Turn it on

  1. Open Settings → Security → Two-factor authentication.
  2. Click Set up 2FA.
  3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (or enter the key manually).
  4. Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
  5. Save the recovery codes somewhere safe.

Sensitive actions

Once enabled, sensitive actions — like deleting an agent or resetting a key — ask for a code. A successful unlock lasts 15 minutes for the session.

Recovery codes

You get eight one-time codes. Each works once if you lose your authenticator. Store them in a password manager, not a sticky note.

Disable or reset

You can disable 2FA or generate fresh recovery codes from the same screen. Both require a current code when 2FA is on.
