Switch it on

General steps; menu names vary. College Board's own guide has the exact screens.

  1. Sign in to College Board and open your account's security settings. Look for two-step verification or two-factor authentication. College Board's help pages show the exact screens.
  2. Add your email address and enter the code College Board sends, to confirm it.
  3. Save the backup codes. Keep them in your password manager or print them; they're your way back in if you lose your phone or key.
  4. Turn on two-factor sign-in for your email account too, since the codes go there.
