Oops, my mistake!

Turn on 2FA I said... but it didn't work for many of you....

Hi all,

This is a follow-up from my previous post 3 x 2 Minute Jobs To Save Your (Substack) Sanity

I had a bunch of people ask me why they couldn’t activate two-factor authentication (2FA) on their Substack account. The button to ‘Turn on’ was greyed out.

Turns out you need to enable recovery questions first. Oops my mistake, I didn’t include that vital piece of information.

Enable recovery questions first, then switch on two-factor authentication (2FA)

I’m sure most of you figured it out, but I’m sorry if I wasted any of your precious time.

That’s it for now, see you next time,

P.S. There are still a couple of spots in my upcoming workshop. We’ll be working together on your publication in a small group setting, using my structured framework. It consists of four 1-hour sessions over 4 weeks plus optional Q and A sessions for personalised help. If you want to know more about it, send me a DM.
