Two-factor authentication

2FA adds a 6-digit time-based code from an authenticator app on top of your password. Settings → Security → Two-factor authentication.

Setup

1. Click Set up 2FA.

2. Scan the QR code with your authenticator (1Password, Authy, Google Authenticator, Bitwarden. Any TOTP app works).

3. Enter the 6-digit code the app shows.

4. Save the recovery codes shown after setup. These are single-use, can be used in place of a TOTP code if you lose your phone, and cannot be re-displayed. Print or password-manager them now.

Sign-in flow

Email + password → 6-digit code prompt → in. The code field also accepts a single recovery code.

Lost both phone and recovery codes

Email hello@encore.photo from your account email. We'll verify identity through other channels (last invoice card, last gallery URL, etc.) and reset 2FA. This is intentionally manual to keep the bar high.
