Enable two-factor authentication for your account

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your Dots account by requiring a code from your authenticator app when you log in. You can set up 2FA from your Dots Dashboard profile.

Enable two-factor authentication

1. Log in to the Dots Dashboard

2. Navigate to Profile → OTP

3. Click Set up two-factor authentication

4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password)

5. If you cannot scan the QR code, click Copy next to the Setup key field and manually enter the key into your authenticator app

6. Enter the 6-digit code from your authenticator into the Code from authenticator field

7. Click Verify

After verification, two-factor authentication is enabled. You'll see a confirmation message: Two-factor authentication enabled!

Using the setup key fallback

The setup key lets you manually configure your authenticator app when scanning a QR code isn't possible—for example, if your camera isn't working or you're setting up on a device without a camera.

To use the setup key:

1. Click Copy next to the Setup key field

2. Open your authenticator app and choose the option to add an account manually

3. Paste the setup key into the key field

4. Enter the 6-digit code the app generates into the Code from authenticator field

5. Click Verify

Logging in with 2FA

Once two-factor authentication is enabled, you'll enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app each time you log in:

1. Go to https://app.dots.dev/login

2. Enter your email and password

3. Enter your 6-digit authenticator code

4. Click Log In

Disable two-factor authentication

To turn off 2FA:

1. Navigate to Profile → OTP

2. Click Disable two-factor authentication

You'll see a confirmation: Two-factor authentication disabled.
