Profile

Update your personal information, manage your password, configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and customize your appearance settings from your Recurly profile.

Your Recurly profile is where you manage your personal information and account security settings — update your name, email, time zone, and appearance preferences, change your password, and configure Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). To access it, click your name in the upper right corner of the Recurly app.
Available on all Recurly plans
Deprecation noticeSMS 2FA is disabled for users on new sandbox sites. Users currently using an Authenticator App for 2FA must upgrade to Recurly's new TOTP service. See Upgrade to new TOTP service below for instructions.

Key details

Personal information

Update your full name, email, job function, and time zone at any time by clicking Edit Personal Info.

You can also set your appearance preference — choose Auto (matches your operating system theme), Light, or Dark.


Password management

To change your password, click Change Password and enter the required details.

Password requirements:

  • At least 12 characters
  • Must include at least one numeric character
  • Passwords older than 90 days trigger a forced change at next login

Session timeout

Session inactivity timeoutSessions time out after 20 minutes of inactivity, after which you'll need to log in again.

Two-factor authentication

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code in addition to your password. 2FA applies across all Recurly sites associated with your email address — enabling or disabling it affects all connected sites.

Limitations

  • 2FA doesn't replace the need for a strong, unique password and secure account practices
  • You're responsible for maintaining access to your chosen verification method (Authenticator App, SMS, or Email)
  • If you lose access to your verification method, you may be unable to log in until access is restored
  • Disabling 2FA removes it from all Recurly sites connected to your account

Recurly supports three 2FA methods — you can enable multiple at once for flexibility during login. The Authenticator App and Email are recommended over SMS due to known SMS security weaknesses.

Enable 2FA

1

Open your profile

Navigate to your user profile in Recurly.

2

Enable a 2FA method

Click the Enable link next to the 2FA method you want to activate — Authenticator App, SMS, or Email. Multiple methods can be configured.

3

Verify your password

Enter your password when prompted.

4

Complete the method-specific setup

Follow the steps for your chosen method below.

Authenticator App

Recurly supports Twilio Authy, Okta Verify, Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, LastPass Authenticator, and other TOTP-compatible apps.

Scan the QR code with your authenticator app, or enter the provided code manually. The app generates a one-time code — enter it in Recurly to complete setup.

SMS

Enter a mobile phone number capable of receiving SMS messages. A verification code is sent to that number — enter it in the verification field to complete setup.

Email

A verification code is sent to the email address on your Recurly account. Enter it in the verification field to complete setup.


Set a default 2FA method

If you have multiple 2FA methods configured, you can choose which one is selected by default at login.

1

Open the method menu

Click the ellipsis (…) to the right of the 2FA method you want to set as default.

2

Set as default

Select Set as Default, enter your password, then click Set as Default to confirm.


Disable 2FA

Disable a single method

1

Open the method menu

Click the ellipsis (…) to the right of the 2FA method and select Disable.

2

Confirm

Enter your password and click Disable.

Disable all 2FA methods

1

Click Disable Two-Factor Auth

Select Disable Two-Factor Auth on your profile page.

2

Enter your password and click Disable. All 2FA methods on your account will be disabled.

Disable 2FA for a user (Site Admin)

Site Admins can disable 2FA for individual users:

1

Open the user's profile

Go to the Users section in Recurly and click to edit the user's profile.

2

Set to password only

Select Password and click Save Changes.


Troubleshooting 2FA

Lost mobile device

If you can't access the device that receives your authentication codes:

  • Enable multiple 2FA methods before this happens — if you have both Authenticator App and Email configured, you can still log in via Email, then reconfigure the Authenticator App for a new device.
  • Check your authenticator app's documentation — many apps provide account restoration options or support alternative devices.
  • Contact your site administrator — they can disable 2FA on your account, allowing login with just your password.
  • Contact [email protected] — Recurly Support can also disable 2FA on your account.

General tips

  • If authentication fails repeatedly, try syncing your phone's clock with your mobile provider.
  • If you're not receiving SMS codes, double-check that your phone number was entered correctly.
  • When entering a code, don't include spaces between the digits.
