You can set up 2-step verification (2SV) using your phone number. TikTok strongly recommend turning on 2SV to further protect your account. This common account security feature adds an extra layer of protection to help us verify it's you if you log in from an unrecognized device. 2SV also provides an added layer of security to your account in case your password is compromised. Many people only have one layer (a password) to protect their account, but with 2SV, if someone obtains your password, they'll still need access to your phone or email address when attempting to log in to your account. 

To turn on 2-step verification: 

1. Check that you have the latest version of TikTok downloaded on your device. 

2. Tap Profile at the bottom of the screen. 

3. Tap the Menu button at the top. 

4. Tap Settings and privacy. 

5. Tap Security. 

6. Tap 2-step verification and choose at least two verification methods: 
  • SMS (recommended) 
  • Email (recommended) 
  • Authenticator app (recommended). You'll need an authenticator app, such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator installed on your device to use this option. Follow the instructions provided on the next screen to scan the QR code or copy the key provided. Enter the key on the authenticator app when you add an account for TikTok. Finally, enter the code provided by the authenticator app on the next screen in the TikTok app. 
  • Password 
7. Tap Turn on to confirm. 

8. If you choose SMS or Email: 
  • You'll be prompted to enter an email address and phone number if you haven't previously entered.

To turn off 2 Step Verification, you will first need to access the app settings on your TikTok account. Once you are there, you will have to locate the Security menu and select the option that enables you to disable the 2 Step Verification process.
