Fishladder

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Fishladder supports time-based one-time password (TOTP) two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to your account. When enabled, you will need both your password and a code from your authenticator app to sign in.

Supported Authenticator Apps

Any TOTP-compatible authenticator app will work, including:

  • Google Authenticator
  • Authy
  • 1Password
  • Microsoft Authenticator
  • Bitwarden

Enabling 2FA

  1. Go to Settings > Security.
  2. Click Enable two-factor authentication.
  3. Enter your account password to confirm your identity.
  4. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app. If you cannot scan, expand the manual entry section to copy the secret key.
  5. Save the backup codes displayed on screen. Store them somewhere safe — each code can only be used once.
  6. Click Done.

Signing In with 2FA

After entering your email and password, you will be prompted to enter a 6-digit code from your authenticator app. Enter the current code and click Verify to complete sign-in.

Backup Codes

When you enable 2FA, you receive a set of single-use backup codes. If you lose access to your authenticator app, you can use a backup code to sign in instead. On the 2FA verification screen, click Use a backup code instead and enter one of your saved codes.

Each backup code can only be used once. If you run out of backup codes, disable and re-enable 2FA to generate a new set.

Disabling 2FA

  1. Go to Settings > Security.
  2. Click Disable two-factor authentication.
  3. Enter your account password to confirm.

Important Notes

  • 2FA is available for accounts that use email and password sign-in. If you sign in exclusively with Google or Linear SSO, 2FA is not currently supported for your account.
  • 2FA protects your Fishladder login only. It does not affect your connected Linear or Google accounts.
  • If you lose both your authenticator app and your backup codes, contact your team admin for assistance.
