Last updated on Jan 27, 2026

Learn how to set up two-step verification and use it for signing in to your Adobe account.

Two-step verification adds an extra layer of security to your Adobe account. It requires a verification code in addition to your password when signing in, helping protect your account from unauthorized access. You can set up verification through the Adobe Account Access app, email, or text message (SMS).

Before you begin, ensure that you have:

  • Your Adobe account credentials.
  • Access to your email or an active mobile number.
  • A web browser to access your Adobe account security settings.

Set up two-step verification

Sign in to your Adobe account.

In the Sign-in and security page, go to the Two-step verification section and turn on your preferred verification method.

The toggle buttons located on the right side of the screen under Two-step verification will activate your preferred verification method.
You can activate multiple two-step verification methods.

Note

If you’re trying to turn on two-step verification using the Adobe Account Access app, you’ll have to download it and set it up on your phone.

Select Allow if you’re prompted to turn on a backup verification method.

Select Turn on if you’re prompted to confirm.

You’ll receive a success notification, indicating that you’ve successfully enabled two-step verification.

If you’ve enabled two-step verification using email or phone number, enter the code that you receive in the Verify your identity window.

The field to enter a verification code, available in the Verify your identity window on the sign-in page, allows you to enter your code and verify your identity.
