Two-factor authentication is an optional security feature for Business Manager where you'll be asked to enter a special security code each time you try to access Business Manager from a new computer or mobile phone. You'll need to add a phone number to your Facebook account to use this feature.

Enable two-factor authentication

1. Go to Business settings.
2. Go to Business info and click Edit.
3. Under Two-factor authentication choose "Required for everyone or Required for admins only. To turn off two-factor authentication, choose Not required.
4. Click Save.

Note: After you turn on two-factor authentication, we need to be able to remember your computer and browser info so we can recognise it the next time you log in. Some browser features block this. If you've turned on private browsing or set up your browser to clear your history every time it closes, you might have to enter a code every time you log in. If you use a third-party app to manage the Page or ad account linked to your business, we'll request that you enter a security code the next time you sign in from the app.

If you've turned on two-factor authentication and are being prompted to enter a code for security purposes, you can generate a code from your mobile device to authenticate yourself.

Roles that you can assign to a pixel

As an admin, when you give a business access to a Page or an ad account, you can choose the roles that are available to them. Similarly, when a business gives you access, they'll choose the roles that are available and unavailable to your business.

• Pixel editor: Pixel editors can view information about a pixel and make changes to the pixel. Pixel editors can also create audiences and conversion ads with the pixel. They key difference between a pixel editor and an admin is that only admins can add someone to a pixel, remove someone from a pixel or change someone's pixel role.

• Pixel analyst: Pixel analysts can only view information about a pixel. Pixel analysts can't edit the pixel or create audiences or conversion ads with the pixel.
