How do I activate the backup codes to my Dynadot account?

Losing access to your phone or security key can be stressful. Luckily, backup codes provide a reliable alternative two-step verification method. Here's how to activate them:

  1. Sign in to your Dynadot account.
  2. Select "My Info" from the left-side menu bar and click "Security" in the drop-down.
  3. Click "Manage Two-Factor Authenticator".
  4. Unlock your account by entering your Security PIN. (Submit a forget Security PIN request if you lose it)
  5. Click on the plus icon next to "Backup Codes".
  6. A new popup page will open with a list of your backup codes.
  7. Click "Confirm" button to save your changes.

Your backup codes are now active. Please store them securely. You can regenerate a new set if you lose your current ones.

Note: Backup codes are an alternate method of 2 step verification if you lose access to your phone or security key. You must enable a primary 2-step verification method first, before activating backup codes.
