Warframe TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication FAQ

What is TennoGuard Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)?

This feature provides an additional level of security to your PC Warframe account and will help prevent unauthorized access.

How does it work?

Upon first login after activation, Warframe generates and emails you a code that you will need to enter before you log in. The code changes every few minutes and can be used only once. This process will need to be repeated the first time you login to Warframe on every PC you play it on. It is therefore very important that you use a valid and trustworthy email address. Please also know that future email changes can only be made while you still have access to your email address.

What are the benefits of having TennoGuard 2FA enabled?

In addition to increasing security around access to your PC account, TennoGuard 2FA is required to trade in-game items with fellow Tenno in Warframe! You are also able to change the email associated with your account yourself through the Account Management page.

Why is TennoGuard 2FA required to trade?

It is required to protect both parties from participating in account invasion-related situations. When both players have TennoGuard 2FA enabled, it helps to ensure that the persons trading are the legitimate account holders trading their own items.

What do I receive for enabling TennoGuard 2FA?

Once TennoGuard 2FA is enabled on your account, you will receive a free cosmetic! The Fae Path Ephemera will be sent to you via in-game inbox message from Ordis. Equip it in your Arsenal by going to the “Appearance” tab and selecting the “Attachment” option and watch your Warframe leave a trail of fireflies and forest leaves in its wake.

If I already have TennoGuard 2FA enabled, will I receive the Fae Path Ephemera?

Yes! If you already have TennoGuard 2FA enabled, you can log in anytime to receive the inbox message from Ordis containing the Fae Path Ephemera.

How do I enable TennoGuard 2FA on my PC account?

PLEASE NOTE: Before enabling TennoGuard 2FA, be sure that you have access to the email associated with your Warframe PC account.

If you no longer have access to the email associated with your Warframe PC account, submit a ticket to support.warframe.com and request an email change. Support will also enable TennoGuard 2FA on your behalf once the email update is complete.
