In the security section of your settings, you can enable or disable Two-factor authentication.

Securing your account is a top priority, and enabling Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an excellent way to enhance its security. You can set up 2FA for your Guilded account by following a few simple steps. This additional layer of protection helps safeguard your account from unauthorized access, ensuring peace of mind and maintaining the integrity of your data.

  • Go to your settings by clicking on the cogwheel icon near your profile.

Important

 Please keep your backup code safe. Guilded cannot remove 2FA or issue you a new backup code. If you have lost or do not have access to your backup code, you will have to create a new account.
