What is Two-Step Verification?

Two-Step Verification (also called two-factor authentication or ‘2FA’) is a security feature on the Tapo APP that helps add an extra layer of security to your account. With Two-Step verification enabled, a new device that signs into the app with your TP-Link account information will be asked to enter a time-sensitive verification code to protect your account and prevent unauthorized access.

 

How to Set up Two-Step Verification?

You can enable this feature from the Tapo Application. From ‘Me’ page, tap the Account Icon in the top left > Login Security> Toggle ON Two-Step Verification .

 

How does Two-Step Verification work for the Tapo APP?

1. When enabling two-step verification for the first time, it will require you to verify your account through your email.

2. After Two- Step Verification, new devices attempting to log in will have to verify using one of the methods specified below:

APP Verification (Default Method) : Verify by App Notification. A Verification Code will be sent via a Tapo app notification to Trusted Device(s). Enter the code on the new device to verify the new device.

Note: Ensure that the Notification permission has been enabled on your phone to use this feature.

Email Verification (Alternative method): Verify by Email. A Verification Code will be sent to your Email Registered to your TP-Link Account. Sign in your email to view the code. Enter this code on the new device to verify the new device.
