If you have a DNA kit associated with your account (either a MyHeritage DNA kit or an uploaded DNA kit), enabling 2FA is required. This extra layer of protection helps ensure your sensitive DNA data stays secure.
For those without a DNA kit associated with their account, Two-Factor Authentication is optional but strongly recommended. In order to enable 2FA for your account, please follow the relevant instructions below:
To enable 2FA from the MyHeritage website
To enable 2FA from the MyHeritage Mobile App
Note:
When setting up the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on your account, we highly recommend adding your phone number to your family tree profile, as it can help you recover your account if you lose email access or encounter 2FA issues.
