Ancestry two-step verification is an added layer of security designed to protect your account and personal family history data. When enabled, it requires not only your password but also a verification code sent to your registered email or mobile device before granting access. This means even if someone else gets hold of your password, they won’t be able to log in without the second verification step. Using Ancestry two-step verification helps safeguard sensitive information, such as your family tree, DNA results, and research notes, giving you peace of mind while exploring your ancestry.
