Turn on two-step login

Ask for a code after your password, from an authenticator app or by email, so a password alone is never enough.

SettingsLogin security Open Login security

Two-step login asks for a 6-digit code after your password on a new phone or computer. Someone who learns your password still can't get in. The authenticator app is coming soon: it shows up in Login security as soon as two-step login is switched on for every Busy Book login.

  1. 1

    Open Login security

    In the menu, tap Settings, then Login security.

  2. 2

    Pick the authenticator app

    Under Authenticator app, tap Set it up. To be sure it's you, type the code we email you first, then tap Next. We ask for a fresh emailed code every time you set it up or move it.

  3. 3

    Scan the code

    In an app like Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or 1Password, tap + and scan the code on your screen. Type the 6 digits the app shows.

  4. 4

    Keep your backup codes

    Save the 10 backup codes somewhere safe. Each one works once if your phone is ever lost.

  5. 5

    Or get codes by email

    Rather not use an app? Under Code by email, tap Turn it on and type the code we email you.
