  • If you don't already have a mobile authenticator you will need to download one to your phone.  You can use Google Authenticator for iPhone or Android, you can use Authy, or you can use an authenticator of your choice.

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.
