General troubleshooting

If you're unable to set up multifactor authentication or are having trouble using your authenticator, view the troubleshooting steps.

  • Make sure you set up multifactor authentication using the instructions in this article.
  • Delete your authenticator app and add your account again.

If these steps don't work, please contact the authenticator app provider directly.

Change the method to confirm your identity when logging in

When multifactor authentication is enabled, you have two options to log in to your account: use a third-party app as described above or receive text messages with a verification code to your phone. Even after setting up multifactor authentication with an authenticator app, you can change the login method any time. Here's how:
  1. Log in to your account at LogMeIn.com using your email address and password.
  2. At the top of the page, select Settings > Account Settings.

    Result: The Account Settings page is displayed.

  3. Under Security, select edit next to Setup Multifactor Authentication.
  4. To change from email or a third-party app to receiving text messages, select Use text message instead.
  5. Add your phone number and select Next to receive a text message with your verification code.
  6. Enter that code to the relevant field to verify your phone number.
  7. Select Activate on the Protect your account page.
    Remember: You can switch back to using a third-party app any time. You can only use emails as a backup login method, when you do not have access to your phone.
