September 22, 2023 How do I add 2FA to Trello?

Trello is used in the business to keep track of projects, especially in the web development and Production departments. Trello instances have sensitive information about the company, so must be kept secure. For this reason, we require anyone who accesses a company Trello account to have their personal Trello account secured by 2FA. Trello is owned by Atlassian, and it’s the Atlassian account that is actually secured by 2FA. Trello has a handy feature to sign on with your Google account (fname.lname@abbywinters.com), which we recommend you use day to day. Doing so will mean you will not have to actually enter the 2FA code every time to need to log on to Trello (but anyone trying to break in to your Trello account will need to!). To set up 2FA on your Trello / Atlassian account;

1. Be logged in to Atlassian
   1. Sign in at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security
   2. Set a password if you usually sign in with Google, as it will be required in the next step
   3. Save these credentials in LastPass
2. Ensure to have an authentication app in your smartphone
   1. This could be any of the following: Google Authenticator (recommended), Authy or Duo
3. Enable two-step verification
   1. Select “Manage two-step verification”
   2. Enter the password created at the previous step to unlock 2FA settings
   3. Go through the process to register a new 2FA with a QR code and your smartphone
   4. Trello will provide an emergency recovery code, add that to your LastPass entry for Trello
