Two second factors on offer: security key and authenticator app. The strongest is a security key.
Recommended setup
Security key + app backup
A security key only answers the real site, so it can't be phished. Set up a second method too, so a lost key doesn't lock you out.

Switch it on
General steps; menu names vary. ESL Play's own guide has the exact screens.
- Sign in to ESL Play and open your account's security settings. Look for two-step verification or two-factor authentication. ESL Play's help pages show the exact screens.
- Choose authenticator app. A QR code appears.
- Open your authenticator app, add an account and scan the QR code. Type the 6-digit code it shows to confirm.
- Choose security key. Insert a USB key, or hold an NFC key to your phone, and touch it when it blinks. Register a spare key too.
- 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.
