    Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

    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 (2FA) to add an extra layer of security to your Figma account. When 2FA is enabled, you need to confirm your identity each time you log in to your Figma account.

    You can authenticate your Figma account using any of the following methods:

    • SMS
    • Google Authenticator
    • Duo Mobile
    • Authy
    • 2FA (Windows phone)

    You need to choose your authentication method as part of the setup process. We recommend installing any authentication apps before you start.

    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.

    Set up two-factor

    Enable two-factor authentication in your Figma account settings. To view and update your account settings:

    1. Open Figma in the file browser.
    2. Select your avatar in the top-right corner to open the account menu.
    3. Select the Account tab in the Settings modal.
    4. Go to the Settings tab.
    5. You'll find the Two-factor authentication section at the top of the page, under your login details.

      Note: When you set up two-factor with SMS, you can also add an authenticator app. When both are enabled, Figma will prompt you to authenticate via the app first. Click Send me an SMS to authenticate via SMS instead.
