Now enter the code you copied from the Uber app. And then tap on the “Enter Key Manually” link at the bottom of the next screen. You will want to scroll to the bottom to add a new account. Since this guide is highlighting the process from a device, and since you may not have Authy on a second device, we will show the enablement process using the manual code entry.Ĭopy the code supplied by the Uber app and then tap “Next.” The next screen offers the option of capturing the QR code, or entering a manual code to set up Authy 2FA.
We’re showing the path for the security app choice. The next screen will ask how you wish to receive 2FA codes, via SMS (the least secure method) or via an authentication app like Authy (very strong security). Then tap the arrow at the bottom of the screen. When done reading, tap “Set Up Now”īefore you can go any further, you will need to enter in your Uber password. The next screen details a little bit about how 2FA works.
Next tap the indicator to the right of “2-step verification” - it should currently be in the OFF position. At the bottom of the next screen, tap “Settings” Open your Uber app on your mobile device. Then tap the three parallel lines at the top left of your screen to open your account page. If you are looking to secure your Uber account with something stronger than SMS-based 2FA, you can now secure it with two-factor authentication from a time-based one-time password ( TOTP) authenticator app like Authy. Although they work in similar ways, Authy is more feature-rich and allows for multi-device syncing, cloud-backups, and easier account recovery should you change or lose your phone or device. Read more information on the features of Authy here. Important: If any sites prompt you to use Google Authenticator for two-factor authentication, note that you can always substitute the Authy 2FA app instead. Install Authy on your device by searching for it in your device’s app store. It enables you to have a single mobile app for all your 2FA accounts and you can sync them across multiple devices, even accessing them on the desktop. The best way to manage all your 2FA accounts is to use the Authy app. Uber now offers more secure authentication.
