HubSpot login usually requires just your username and password. Logging in with two-factor authentication requires verification using a second device, such as your mobile phone. This lowers down the risk of a potential intrusion.
2FA verification can be done through an SMS, or with an authenticator app, like Google Authenticator. If you have set up HubSpot 2FA with Google Authenticator but have changed to a new Android phone, you can transfer Authenticator codes to your new device.

To set up two-factor authentication in HubSpot:
