Ways to Authenticate Your Sentry Account
Sentry supports various two-factor authentication (2FA) options. Below are the most common methods to set up Sentry 2FA:
1. Use Authenticator App
Authenticator App ® 2FA is a free app that you can use to sign in to your accounts using your fingerprint, face, or PIN. Authenticator App ® 2FA (two-factor authentication) provides a seamless way to log in securely without needing a password. It generates one-time passcodes (OTP) for verification or sends push notifications for quick approval.
2. SMS Authentication
Although available in some services, Sentry does not recommend SMS-based 2FA due to vulnerability to SIM swapping attacks.
3. Backup Codes
Sentry allows you to download backup codes as a fallback method, in case you lose access to your authenticator device.
