At vidIQ, we prioritize the security of your YouTube channel. That's why we have implemented Multi-factor Authentication (MFA), a security mechanism designed to ensure that you and only you can access and manage your account.

By implementing MFA, we are ensuring that your vidIQ account is protected and that only you can make changes to your YouTube channel and manage your vidIQ account.

How does Multi-Factor Authentication work?

Once you see the MFA pop-up, click 'Authorize with YouTube' and follow the channel authentication process for the channel that was used to set it up.

How to use Multi-Factor Authentication when adding additional channels?

The MFA might appear when you are trying to add an additional channel. Please note that when you do so first you need to pass the authorization part by choosing the channel you already have connected to your vidIQ account. Once you have passed the MFA, then you can go ahead and authenticate the other channel.
