Can I use a Kick authenticator without a phone?

Yes. Kick’s help names Google Authenticator, but all Kick asks for is the six-digit code — not which device made it. The Authenticator extension produces the code in Chrome and reads the QR code straight off the Kick security page.

Which authenticator app works with Kick?

Kick names Google Authenticator and lets you scan the QR code or enter the code by hand. Apps that produce the same time-based codes work too — Microsoft Authenticator, Authy, 2FAS, or a browser extension like this one.

Do I need 2FA to change my Kick username?

Yes. Kick’s help says two-factor authentication must be enabled on your account before you can change your username. Turn it on as described above, then go back to the username setting.

What if I lose access to my authenticator?

Email support@kick.com from the email address associated with your Kick account; Kick removes 2FA so you can sign in and set it up again. Keeping the extension’s automatic backups on means a reinstall does not lose the codes in the first place.

Kick Authenticator App — Set Up 2FA on Kick.com

A Kick account is your channel, your username and the community that follows it — and whoever signs in with your password can chat and act in your name. With an authenticator app on, a stolen password is no longer enough: signing in also takes the six-digit code that only your device produces. Kick recommends turning it on, and requires it before you can change your username.

Turn on two-factor authentication on Kick

Sign in at kick.com on your computer.
Open your channel’s security page at kick.com/settings/security.
Click “Enable 2FA”.
When Kick shows a QR code, leave that page open and add it to the extension as described below — then click “Continue Setup”, enter the six-digit code and click “Continue Setup” again. Kick confirms: “Your account is now protected by Two Factor Authentication”.

Kick’s own instructions

Add Kick 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 Kick 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 Kick and type the current code into the confirmation field. If it is about to expire, wait for the next one.
Kick 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 Kick’s setup screen, copy the key, and add it in the extension with “Add Account” → “Manual” → “Secret Key”.

Keep a way back into Kick

Kick’s help does not mention backup codes. If you lose your authenticator, the way back is Kick support: email support@kick.com from the address linked to your Kick account and ask them to remove 2FA — so keep that email account safe as well. Our advice: Kick also offers the code for manual entry next to the QR code; write it on paper and keep it offline, and keep the extension’s automatic backups on, so a reinstall or a new computer does not send you to support.

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.
