Setup Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account

Last updated: January 6, 2023

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Glow account by requiring access to your phone, in addition to your password.

By using 2FA, anyone who tries to access your account will need both your password and an access code generated on your phone.

We highly recommend enabling 2FA on your account.

Step 1

Login to your Glow account and go to Team & Profile from the main left hand menu.

Click on My Profile and then the Security tab.
