I'd like to set up 2 factor authentication on Facebook that uses my phone. In Facebook's security settings I've gotten to "Set Up a Third Party App to Generate Codes". It gave me a QR code to scan which I succesfully added to Google Authenticator but when I sign into Facebook it never asks for it and doesn't require it. I also tried Facebook's Code Generator app, but when I click add it doesn't launch any camera app.

How can I have my Facebook account prompt me for a changing password in addition to my regular one?

  • If you are not stuck with third party app, you can use your mobile number to active to two-factor authentication. – serenesat Jul 16 '17 at 18:36
  • @serenesat how and what do you mean? Are you talking about receiving a text message each time? – northerner Jul 17 '17 at 8:05
  • Yes, receiving a code as text message whenever you login from new device/browser. – serenesat Jul 17 '17 at 11:06
