It doesn't work when I click the link inside my account--is it active for anyone here?

Tesla 2-Factor Authentication (2FA) Shows Up in Accounts, Hinting at Launch Soon - TeslaNorth.com

While I want 2FA in my tesla account, I will let all you extreme early adopters get locked out of your accounts testing it first

Not showing up in mine.

I checked four different accounts and none of them have the option yet.

The "Enable Face ID" in the iPhone app hasn't been working since it was added two years ago...

I've tried turning it on at least five times now and it's never worked once.

Well that didn't take long. I just checked all four accounts and they now all have the multi-factor authentication option.

Agreed - wasn't on my account when this was first posted, but is now. Not going to enable it just yet thanks.

Here's the help text for the feature: Multi-Factor Authentication

Take one for the team!

I just enabled it on my iPhone. Process was quite easy.

I am using Duo Security as my MFA app.

Back-up codes seem to work well too.

yeah, as soon as I sent this my fingers went ahead and enabled it before I could stop them

Works fine. Supports up to two MFA devices.

I won't be using it on my M3 either. Too much trouble to climb on the frunk and press my face against the windshield camera.

I had to log out and back in to test four different accounts so that wasn't the issue. The changes hadn't been deployed to all CDN servers. Now they have.

I turned it on from a web browser. Used DUO for the multi-factor app. Sent my backup codes to a secure location in case I need them. Looks like they did it right. Now DUO needs to add Tesla as a icon/app. For now I picked UBER..

Just set up MFA, without issue. Validated by signing out of Tesla app, and back in, immediately received prompt for 2nd factor. The setting to configure is located here:

Assume it also works in the car? Like if you have to reset the PIN?

Haven't tested myself, as I'm reluctant to type in my maximum character pw using that on screen keyboard, but I imagine it would... and tbh, that was my primary goal in setting up MFA as soon as it was available, is to reduce risk from the situation where someone, who happens to have the credentials, from being to authenticate and drive the car.

So, for all of you who use third party apps (teslafi, stats, teslamate, watch apps, etc), how does this impact the use of those apps? I dont use them, but many do...hard to imagine that no one who has currently jumped into this with 2 feet uses any of those apps.

I got a response from TeslaFi and Stats App saying they're good-to-go. I also use A Better Routeplanner heavily and posted an inquiry in their forum but haven't seen a response as yet. I haven't tried logout out of anything but the Tesla app itself to see what happens.

EDIT: and in case it wasn't obvious, I use TeslaFi heavily also, and use the Stats App too, but not that often.
