When enabled, Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) increases your account’s security by requiring a second method of verification before you can login to No-IP.com’s website.
2FA Setup Instructions
Navigate to the Security page. Login to your No-IP account and click your username on the top right of the screen. In this menu, click Security.
Next, download and install an authentication app. This article will be using Duo. If you’d rather use a different app see our articles for Authy, LastPass or 1Password. They’re all available on the Play Store for Android or the App Store for iOS.

After installation, open the app and select “Setup an Account”. You will be given two options: “Use a QR Code” or “Use activation code”. Select whichever you prefer. We have provided instructions for each method below.QR Code
