Enable Two-factor authentication for your Figma account
Before you start
Who can use this feature
Use Two-factor authentication on any Figma team or plan
You can't configure Two-factor authentication in Figma if you login via Google SSO or SAML SSO
Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your Figma account.
When enabled, you will need to confirm your identity every time you log in to your Figma account:
Two-factor authentication must be set up on each Figma account individually. There isn't currently a way to enable or enforce two-factor authentication across a team or Organization.
Note: If you login to Figma via Google SSO or SAML SSO, you won't be able to enable two-factor in Figma. You will need to enable two-factor or multi-factor authentication with your identity provider instead.
