Getting started with your Defense.com account takes just a couple of minutes. This guide will walk you through all the steps you need to know to sign-up and configure multi-factor authentication for your account in double quick time.
Once you’ve received your invite to Defense.com (from [email protected]), click Join Defense.com now
You'll then be asked to confirm the details for your account, create a password and review/accept the Defense.com terms and conditions
Once complete, you’ll be asked to configure two-factor authentication for your account. Scan the QR code presented on the screen with the authenticator application of your choice
Once scanned, your authenticator application will display a six-digit code. Enter this into the Authentication code field and click Verify Code
Once the code has been verified, you’ll be presented with a set of recovery codes. Copy these and store them somewhere secure (e.g. in a password manager), as you’ll need these to bypass two-factor authentication should you lose your device. Once they’ve been stored, click Continue.
You'll then be logged into your account and presented with the Defense.com dashboard
Important: You'll need your authenticator app each time you sign in to Defense.com. Please do not delete this app.
And that's it! You've completed sign-up for your Defense.com account 🎉
