Turning a 2FA secret into a login code
Your account came with a secret key, not a code. Here is how to get the six digits.
Most accounts sold here have two-factor authentication already switched on. What you receive is the SECRET KEY โ a string of letters and numbers like JBSWY3DPEHPK3PXP โ and the login screen wants a six-digit code. The key generates the codes; it is not one.
The quick way
- Open our 2FA Code Generator on the Tools page.
- Paste the secret key. Spaces do not matter, and a full otpauth:// link works too.
- Copy the six digits and paste them into the login screen. The countdown shows how long that code is valid.
The key is processed inside your own browser and is never sent to us. We could not generate a code for one of our own sales if we were asked to โ which is how it should be, because whoever holds that key can log into that account forever.
The permanent way
For an account you intend to keep, add the key to an authenticator app on your phone. That way you are not depending on any website, including this one.
If a code is rejected
- Wait for the next code. A code entered as it expires is refused even though it was correct.
- Check your device clock. These codes are derived from the current time, so a clock out by a minute produces codes that are all wrong.
- Check for a mistyped 0 for O, or 1 for I. Secret keys use AโZ and 2โ7 only, so a 0 or a 1 in the key is always a transcription error.
A code that is refused is not by itself a faulty account โ the three causes above are far more common. But if the key genuinely does not work, that is covered, and the window is 3 hours from delivery, so check on the day you buy.
