Add an extra layer of security to your Wix account with 2-step verification. Each time you sign in from a device Wix doesn't recognize, confirm it's you. Use a code sent to your phone or email, or approve a notification in the Wix app. This keeps your account safe, even if someone else gets your password.
Enabling 2-step verification
Choose how you want to verify your identity: through the Wix app, by SMS, with an authenticator app, by email, and more. You can turn on more than one method, so you're never locked out if one isn't available.

- Go to Account Settings in your Wix account.
