Password and two-factor authentication

Open Account settings, then use the Password or Two-factor authentication row under Sign-in and security.

Change the password

Enter the current password, the new password, and the same new password again. If you signed up through Google or LinkedIn and do not yet have a password, the page lets you set one instead.

Turn on two-factor authentication

Open the two-factor page and scan its QR code with an authenticator app. Enter the current six-digit code to confirm setup. Save the recovery codes somewhere outside Magpie; each recovery code is a substitute for the authenticator when the device is unavailable.

The authenticator code is time-based. If valid codes are refused repeatedly, check that the phone's clock is set automatically.

Disabling two-factor authentication requires password confirmation. If you have lost the authenticator and every recovery code, Contact support.
