In today’s digital world, having just a strong password isn’t enough. We strongly encourage you to enable a second layer of security—two-factor authentication (2FA), also known as multi-factor authentication (MFA). After entering your username and password, 2FA will require a code from your device to complete the login.
While 2FA was once done via SMS, we now support using third-party authenticator apps (like Authy or Google Authenticator) together with the Gameflip app. Although a phone number is still required on your account, the app-based method offers stronger security.
How to set up a second authentication factor on Gameflip
Whether you use the app or the website, follow these steps:
Go to Menu > Settings > Authentication by clicking your profile picture. Select your preferred authentication method and click the “+” or enable button.
Enter the name of your authenticator app (for example, Google Authenticator) and click on “Generate QR Code.”
Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, then click “I’ve scanned the QR code.”
Enter the 6-digit security code generated by the app into the blank spaces and click “Finish.”
- You’ve now verified the new authentication method. Your account can support up to five authentication options.
On mobile:
- If you are using our Android/iOS, you can activate the Gameflip app or a third-party authentication app that has already been added to your account.
1. Enable one or more authentication options by pressing:

2. Tap on the authentication options you would like to activate and/or deactivate:
