How do I set up the Authenticator App on my Apple Watch?

You can use the Authenticator App on your Apple Watch to quickly view your 2FA codes, right from your wrist. To get started, you’ll first need to install and set up the app on your iPhone.

Here’s how to set it up:

  1. Install the Authenticator App on your iPhone from the App Store.

  2. Open the Authenticator App on your iPhone.

  3. Go to Settings and enable Apple Watch.

Once set up, your 2FA codes will sync automatically and be available directly on your Apple Watch, so you can access them without reaching for your phone.

ℹ️ Note: The watch app only works when there is at least one account added on your iPhone.
