Two-Factor Authentication on H&M
2FA adds a second proof of identity to your H&M login. It blocks 99%+ of credential-stuffing attacks.
Enable 2FA
Open security settings and choose Two-step verification. Pick an authenticator app over SMS where possible.
Authenticator app setup
Install Google Authenticator, Authy, or 1Password. Scan H&M's QR code. Save backup codes somewhere safe.
Backup methods
Always set up a backup (second phone, recovery codes) so you are not locked out if you lose the primary device.
Frequently asked questions
What if I lose my phone?
Use backup codes or H&M's account-recovery flow with ID.
Is SMS 2FA worthless?
No — better than nothing. Just less safe than an app.
