Within your wallet settings, you can manage the two-factor authentication (2FA) method required to send funds from a 2FA-protected account. You can enable, disable, or add additional 2FA methods. We recommend setting up multiple 2FA options in case you lose access to one.

> **Note:** As of May 2025, new 2FA-protected accounts can no longer be enabled. This functionality is only available to users who had already activated this account type previously.

1. Log in to your wallet in the Blockstream app and tap **Settings**.

3. Tap the toggle next to the 2FA method you want to enable or disable. If the toggle is off, tapping it will enable the method; if it is on, tapping it will disable it. The app will prompt you to enter a code to confirm the change.
