Secure your Hubnity account with two-factor authentication using an authenticator app or SMS.

2FA methods

Authenticator app (recommended): Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, or any TOTP-compatible app.

SMS: verification code sent to your registered phone number. Less secure than authenticator apps.

Organization SSO (Enterprise): 2FA may be enforced by your identity provider instead.

Organization 2FA enforcement

Owners can require 2FA for all members from Settings → Security → Require 2FA.

Members without 2FA are prompted at next login and cannot access the workspace until configured.

Grace period: configurable 0–14 days for existing members to set up 2FA.

Backup codes

Each backup code works once. Generate new codes from Profile → Security → Backup codes → Regenerate.

Regenerating invalidates all previous backup codes.

Use a backup code to sign in, then reconfigure 2FA immediately.

No backup codes: contact your organization Owner or Hubnity support with identity verification.
