Threads - Two Factor Authentication
In this guide we will take you through the steps to set up two-factor authentication on your Threads account.
We suggest using Two-Factor authentication, as it provides an extra security step in order to access your account. This way, besides asking for your username and password, Threads will verify your identity by sending a unique code to your device.
This can be done by SMS (text message) or using an authentication app suggested by Threads. You can also set up your own password manager and authenticator app to do this. Check our guide on password managers to learn more.
On mobile app:
Go to your profile by clicking the bottom right corner icon. Then tap the two stripe icon on the top right and choose Settings. There, choose the Account option and then click on Security. This should take you to the Accounts Centre. Finally, open the Password and security screen and then click on Two-factor authentication
You can now choose your preferred authentication method and follow the on-screen instructions to set it up:
