Protect Your Escape from Tarkov Account with Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-Factor Authentication for EFT
Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a security measure that adds an extra layer of protection to your Escape from Tarkov account. With 2FA enabled, you'll need to provide two forms of identification when logging in: your password and a one-time code (TOTP) generated by an authentication app on your phone.
Benefits of 2FA
Increased Account Security
2FA makes it much harder for attackers to gain access to your account, even if they know your password. This is because they would also need to have physical access to your phone to generate the one-time code.
Peace of Mind
Knowing that your account is protected by 2FA can give you peace of mind, especially if you store valuable items or in-game currency in your EFT account.
How to Enable 2FA in EFT
To enable 2FA in Escape from Tarkov, follow these steps:
1. Download an Authentication App
Download an authentication app, such as Google Authenticator or Authy, on your phone.
2. Go to the EFT Website
Log in to the Escape from Tarkov website and click on "My Profile."
3. Enable "Two-Factor Authentication"
Under the "Security" tab, find the "Two-Factor Authentication" section and click on "Enable."
4. Scan the QR Code
Use your authentication app to scan the QR code displayed on the website.
5. Save Recovery Codes
Write down the backup codes provided to you and store them in a safe place. These codes will allow you to recover access to your account if you lose your phone.
Troubleshooting
Not Receiving TOTP Codes
If you are not receiving TOTP codes, check the following:
- Ensure that your phone has an active internet connection.
- Verify that the correct time and date are set on your phone.
- Restart your authentication app and try again.

If you have lost your recovery codes, contact the Escape from Tarkov support team for assistance.
