About Authy
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your Gemini account by requiring two things: something you know and something you have.
At Gemini, 2FA is powered by the Authy app. Here's how to set it up:
Steps to Enable 2FA:
-
Install the Authy App:
Download the free Authy app from your device’s app store. Set up Authy here. -
Find Your Gemini Token:
Open the Authy app. If you provided your name and email during Gemini account setup, the Gemini token will already be there. -
Enter the Token on Gemini:
Copy the Authy token from the app and enter it in the required field on Gemini.Note: The code does not come via SMS. It’s retrieved directly from the Authy app.
-
Disable Multi-Device (Important):
For added security, turn off Authy’s multi-device feature. Follow these steps.
That’s it! Your Gemini account now has 2FA protection.
