How to add two-factor authentication to your Fitbit?

While we are waiting for the upcoming wearable operating systems from Google and Samsung to come out, there are still a large number of users using Fitbit to meet their smartwatch and fitness tracking needs.

Fitbit offers a wide variety of wearables, all of which can help you to keep track of your fitness activity, receive notifications, and even be used as a way to make payments in the store.

How to add two-factor authentication to your Fitbit

Fitbit has two-factor authentication for its users. This adds another layer of security and makes it more difficult to hack into your account in any way.

  1. Open the Fitbit app on your Android or iOS device.
  2. Tap the Today tab in the bottom toolbar.
  3. Tap on your Profile Picture.
  4. Select Account Settings.
  5. Tap Two Factor Authentication.
  6. Toggle Two Factor Authentication to the On position.
  7. Follow the on-screen prompts to enter your phone number.
  8. Enter the verification code from your Android phone once it arrives.
  9. Tap Confirm.
  10. Enter your Fitbit password.
  11. Tap Submit.
  12. Keep a record of your recovery code, and store it in a safe place.

The recovery code that is shown is only provided one time after you leave the final screen. Fitbit recommends putting this somewhere other than just the notes app on your phone.
