Lens ID Just Leveled‑Up Your Security with Two‑Factor Authentication
Today we’re thrilled to announce that Two‑Factor Authentication (2FA) is now available for every Lens ID account. 2FA adds a second, independent check — a time‑based one‑time passcode (OTP) generated on your phone — on top of your password. Even if someone guesses or steals your password, they still can’t get in without that additional code.
Why this matters
- Stronger protection against phishing and password reuse. A leaked password by itself is no longer enough for attackers.
- Peace of mind across every Lens product. Your Lens ID unlocks the entire Lens ecosystem. Securing it secures everything you use with us.
- Industry‑grade security, without the hassle. We designed the setup to take less than 30 seconds and work with an authenticator app you already use — Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator or Free OTP.
How 2FA works in Lens ID
- Turn it on once: Head to Account → Two‑Factor Authentication and flip the switch.
- Scan & save: On the next login, use your favorite authenticator app to scan the QR code — or use the manual setup option — to configure the app.
- Confirm: Enter the 6‑digit code from the app. Done — 2FA is live!
- Future sign‑ins: After you enter your Lens ID password we’ll ask for that 6‑digit code.
Available to everyone, starting now
The feature is rolling out to all Lens ID accounts today — just toggle it on and enjoy the extra layer of protection.
