Enabling/Disabling Two-Factor Authentication

Having Two-factor Authentication (2FA) active in your account makes your account more secure.

This feature is disabled for accounts with a domain license.

With 2FA enabled, logging in your XSplit account will require you to enter both your password and a security code from your mobile phone’s authenticator app like Authy or Google Authenticator.

Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)



Log in with your account on the XSplit website, then click Dashboard.

XSplit Website - Dashboard Button

Under Settings, scroll down to Two-Step Verification then click Setup Two-Factor-Authentication.

You will be asked to enter the account password or the one-time code before you can proceed.

2FA setup confirmation popup

The QR code will be displayed on screen. Using your mobile phone’s authenticator app (e.g. Authy or Google Authenticator), click the option to Scan a QR Code.

After a successful scan, your authenticator app will register your XSplit account and reveal a 6-digit code.
We recommend using Authy since it has multiple device support and allows you to recover your account in case you lose or get a new phone.

Enter the 6-digit code to the 2FA setup window and click Submit.

A confirmation screen will appear indicating that your 2FA is activated. You will be given 10 backup codes for you to keep. This will serve as your alternative 2FA code in case you lose your phone.
