    ​

  4. Scan the QR code with an authenticator app, or set it up in your Password Manager by copying the key displayed into your password manager's 2FA section.
    ​

Frequently asked questions

Help I lost my 2FA device

You can disable 2FA in your account by resetting your password.

  1. Go to the password reset page and follow the flow. Open this article for detailed instructions.

  2. Once your password has been reset, 2FA will have been disabled.

  3. You can then re-enable it with your new 2FA authentication app or device

I am not being prompted for 2FA upon login

If your account utilises Single Sign On (SSO), Google sign-on, Apple sign-on, or Passkeys, you will not be prompted for 2FA when using those login methods -- even if it has been enabled. It only applies when you login with your password.

Can I enforce 2FA for all users in my workspace / organization?

Toggl's 2FA feature is currently an optional security feature that individual users can enable voluntarily. Enforced 2FA is not currently available - please reach out to us if this is important to you.
