Sign In and Authenticate Your mSecure Account

Signing into Your Account for the First Time

When using mSecure for the first time, you will typically tap or click "Sign Up" to create a new account. Once you complete the onboarding process, you will be automatically signed into your new account on your device. Need to create an account first? Visit this article for a step-by-step instructions. 

To sign in, you will need:

• The email address associated with your mSecure account (your username). 
• The password you set for your account. 
• If signing in on a new device, you must also have your Authentication QR Code to verify your ownership. Learn more about authentication here.

Signing In on Another Device

Once you've signed in on one device, you can add other devices to sync your data securely. After creating your account, you received an email titles: "IMPORTANT: mSecure Account QR Code - (Date)". 

This email contains your Authentication QR Code, which is required for signing in on additional devices. Save or flag this email so you can easily access your QR code when needed.

What if I Forgot My Password or Lost My Authentication Code?

Your QR code may be invalid for several reasons:
