Can I use FACEIT 2FA without a phone?

Yes. FACEIT’s help tells you to install Google Authenticator on your phone, but FACEIT only checks the six-digit code. The Authenticator extension produces the same codes in Chrome and reads the barcode straight off the FACEIT popup.

Which authenticator app works with FACEIT?

FACEIT names Google Authenticator. Any app that produces standard time-based codes (TOTP) can scan the same barcode — Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 2FAS, or a browser extension like this one.

I replaced my phone and can’t sign in. How do I get FACEIT to remove 2FA?

Contact FACEIT support through its request form and give them your FACEIT account name, email address, the first and last name on the account, date of birth, phone number and Steam ID 64 (the number that begins with 76). Once 2FA is removed, turn it on again straight away. With the codes in the extension and its automatic backups on, a new phone does not lock you out at all.

Why does FACEIT say my code is wrong?

Most often the barcode changed: closing and reopening the setup popup makes a new one, and the account you added first no longer matches — add the barcode that is on the screen now. If the extension has two entries for FACEIT, use the newest. And if 2FA was set up earlier in another app, the codes have to come from that app.

FACEIT Authenticator App — Turn On Two-Factor Authentication

Your FACEIT account carries your level, your Elo and your match history, and it is tied to your Steam account. Whoever signs in with your password can queue, play and get banned in your name. With an authenticator app on, a password alone no longer signs anyone in: the six-digit code from your device is needed too.

Turn on two-factor authentication on FACEIT

Sign in at faceit.com on your computer.
Open your account settings at faceit.com/en/settings/account.
Select “Edit”, then “Turn On” next to “Two-Factor Authentication”.
When FACEIT shows a barcode (a QR code) in the popup, leave it open and add it to the extension as described below — then download the backup codes, enter the six-digit code and click “Finish”.

FACEIT’s own instructions

Add FACEIT to Authenticator

Install 2FA Authenticator from the Chrome Web Store and pin it to the toolbar, so its icon is one click away.
Leave the FACEIT page with the QR code open. Click the Authenticator icon, then “Add Account” → “QR Code” → “Scan QR from screen”.
The account appears in the list with a six-digit code that changes every 30 seconds. Rename it if you like — the name is only for you.
Go back to FACEIT and type the current code into the confirmation field. If it is about to expire, wait for the next one.
FACEIT confirms that two-factor authentication is on. From now on it will ask for a code when you sign in — click the extension icon and copy it.

No QR code, or it will not scan? Look for the option to enter a key manually on FACEIT’s setup screen, copy the key, and add it in the extension with “Add Account” → “Manual” → “Secret Key”.

Get 2FA Authenticator for Chrome — free

Download your FACEIT backup codes

The setup popup offers backup codes before you enter the first code — download them and keep them somewhere other than this computer. FACEIT’s help suggests tattooing them or storing them somewhere safe; the second works too. It does not say how many there are or whether you can make new ones later, so keep the set you get. If you lose both the authenticator and the codes, only FACEIT support can remove 2FA from the account.

The code is not accepted?

Most often the QR code changed: the website makes a new one each time its setup page is reloaded or opened again, so the account you added first no longer matches. Start the setup again, add the QR code that is on the screen now and type its code in straight away. Two entries for the same website? Use the newest. Other reasons: why codes are refused.

Typed the key in by hand? Paste it into the TOTP code generator and compare the code with the one in the extension. If they differ, the key was copied wrong — add the account again.
