How to Disable Two-Factor Authentication

It is highly recommended to enable two-factor authentication for your Plex account. By enabling two-factor authentication, it will make it more difficult for an authorized person to log into your Plex account as they would need to provide a one-time password that only you should have.

If you lose the authenticator app that contains your two-factor authentication for your account or would like to disable it for your account, you can use the steps below.
