Using 2-Step Verification for Your Wix Account

Add an extra layer of security to your Wix account with 2-step verification. Confirm your identity when you sign in from a device that Wix doesn't recognize. Use a code sent to your phone or email, or approve a notification in the Wix app.

Enabling 2-step verification

Choose how you want to verify your identity: through the Wix app, by SMS, with an authenticator app, or by email. You can turn on more than one method, so you're never locked out if one isn't available. You can also set up a passkey to verify your login without a code.
