How To Properly Setup Recovery and Backup Options for Two-Factor Authentication
With two-factor authentication enabled for your online accounts, you have peace of mind knowing that nobody else can access your accounts. When you configure this mechanism for your accounts, you should also configure the backup and recovery options for two-factor authentication.
That way, if you ever get locked out of your accounts and don’t have access to your two-factor authentication code generators, you can use your backup option to access your account.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to set up recovery and backup options for two-factor authentication on your Google, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and LastPass accounts.
Set Up Recovery and Backup Options for Two-Factor Authentication on Google
In your Google account, you can add a secondary email address or a phone number that acts as a backup option for two-factor authentication. If you ever get locked out of your account, you can use one of these options to regain access to the account.
For two-factor authentication, you can generate and save backup codes to your computer. This way, you can access your account even if you can’t obtain a code yourself.
To add a secondary email address or phone number to your Google account:
- Open a web browser on your computer and access the Google Account site.
- Select Security from the left sidebar and choose Recovery email on the right pane. Select the Recovery phone option instead if you want to add a recovery phone number.
