Greetings from pixiv.
From August 21st, 2023, you will be able to use two-factor authentication on your login page.
Two-factor authentication is a method for increasing the security of your account. When you enable two-factor authentication, you will be required to confirm your login information via two separate methods, which protects your account from unauthorized access by third parties.
■ How to set two-factor authentication
① Install an authentication app such as Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator on your preferred device.
② Go to the two-factor authentication page via the "Two-factor authentication" item on your pixiv user settings, or by clicking the URL below.
https://accounts.pixiv.net/two-factor-authentication
③ You will be asked to confirm your pixiv account. When you have finished confirming, the two-factor authentication confirmation page will be displayed. On this page, click "Enable" to enable two-factor authentication.
④ A 2D code will be displayed. Read the 2D code with the authentication app you installed, then click "Next".
* If you have trouble reading the 2D code on your device, please click "My 2D code won't scan". A "Secret Key" will be displayed. Please enter the Secret Key directly into your authentication app.
⑤ The authentication app will display a six-digit verification code. Please input the code.
⑥ Two-factor authentication is now enabled. A list of backup codes that can be used in the event that your device is lost or broken will now be displayed. Please download or take a screenshot of these codes, and keep them somewhere safe.
