What is Two-Step Authentication

Two-Step Authentication provides an additional authentication layer to ensure only you can access your OneSignal account.

In addition to your email address and password or OAuth, Two-Step Authentication requires you to install an authenticator app such as Authy on your personal mobile device. When you log in to OneSignal, you will be prompted for a verification code generated by the authenticator app to access your OneSignal account.

How to set up Two-Step Authentication on OneSignal

Step 1 - Login

New Registrations

  • Sign up with your email address and password or with your OAuth provider.

Step 3 - Recovery Codes

Upon successful set up of an authenticator app, OneSignal will generate a set of 10 recovery codes. These codes can be used to login to your account if you don't have access to the authenticator app.

Note: For security purposes, OneSignal will display the recovery code only once. Please download or copy these in a safe place. In case you lose the recovery codes, you can generate a new set, invalidating the old recovery codes, from the Account Management page.

Enforce Two-Step Authentication for your Organization

Navigate to Organizations > Your Organization > Roles

2810 2810

From the Organization Roles tab, Org-level admins can:

  • View login method and two-step authentication status for all users
  • Change the organization-wide Two-Step Authentication policy to
    Default: Allow users to select their own, individual login method, with or without the two-step authentication
    Recommended: Require Two-Step Authentication for all users. Mandatory Two-Step Authentication at an org-level will force all users to enable two-step authentication before they can log in to OneSignal the next time.

Note: Org-wide policy enforcement with a single-click is only available to paid accounts.

FAQ

What if I am locked out of my account?

1 - Log in to onesignal.com (should have to use a 2-Step auth recovery code)
2 - If 2-step enabled for entire organization: Go to Organization > Roles and disable 2-step auth for organization, will enable again later (everyone that has logged in at some point should still have 2 factor requirement)
3 - Go to your Accounts and API keys on top right menu button
4 - Enable 2-step authentication at your personal level (may need to disable and enable)
5 - You will get prompted to scan the QR code again
6 - If 2-step enabled for entire organization, go back to Organization > Roles and re-enable 2 step auth for company

  • I don’t remember my login password.
    The process to reset your forgotten password is still the same.

  • I don’t have access to the authenticator app.
    Use one of the recovery codes generated on successful Two-Step Authentication setup

  • I don’t remember recovery codes.
    Please contact OneSignal Support to unlock your account with a one-time code. Please generate a new set of recovery codes on successful login and keep them safe.

How do I disable Two-Step Authentication?

Access Two-Step Authentication settings on the OneSignal Account Management page. Click on “Disable”.
Note: Users will not be able to disable Two-Step Authentication if any of the organizations they are part of enforces it.

How do I generate new recovery codes?

Access Two-Step Authentication settings on the OneSignal Account Management page.
Click on “Generate New Recovery Codes”.

OAuth Login

Customers using third-party OAuth login methods (Facebook, Google, Github, etc) can enable Two-Step Authentication on Onesignal following the same process.

Supported Authenticator Apps

We recommend using Authy, but any authenticator app that supports a Time-based One-time Password (TOTP) mechanism, including Google authenticator, Microsoft authenticator, etc. can be used to set up Two-Step Authentication on OneSignal.
