Security

Protect your Nico account with two-factor authentication (2FA) and manage API keys for bot integrations.

​

Two-factor authentication (2FA)

Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code in addition to your password when signing in.

​

Setting up 2FA

1. Go to Security in your account settings
2. Click Enable Two-Factor Authentication
3. Scan the QR code with your authenticator app (Google Authenticator, Authy, 1Password, etc.)
4. Enter the 6-digit verification code from your app to confirm
5. Save your backup codes — you’ll need these if you lose access to your authenticator

​

Signing in with 2FA

After entering your email and password, you’ll be prompted for a verification code:

1. Open your authenticator app
2. Enter the 6-digit code displayed for Nico
3. Click Verify

​

Using backup codes

If you can’t access your authenticator app:

1. Click Use backup code on the verification screen
2. Enter one of your saved backup codes
3. Each backup code can only be used once

​

Disabling 2FA

1. Go to Security in your account settings
2. Click Disable Two-Factor Authentication
3. Confirm with your current verification code

​

API keys

API keys allow bot users to access Nico programmatically. See API Keys for details on creating and managing keys.
