Verified Accounts Secured with 2FA for Some High-Demand Products

Due to bots buying out certain high-demand items, such as the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, we are now requiring a verified account with two-factor authentication, 2FA, enabled for purchase. We are working to ensure as many of you makers and engineers out there have a chance to order these items at market prices without having to compete with bots.

Follow these helpful tips:

  • Verify your account and set up 2FA now, when you’re not trying to check out as quickly as your fingers will allow!
  • Log out of and back into your account to activate account verification and to ensure you’re a 2FA login pro.
  • Make sure any information you have saved in your account is up to date. We value your privacy, we will not share, distribute, or publish your information. We pride ourselves on being the radically transparent and accountable company.
  • Sign up on the product page to be notified when the item is restocked. You will only be emailed about this product and we will not store your contact information after you receive your notification that the item is in stock.

Enabling 2FA

  • Log in to your Adafruit Account and click “Security & Privacy” or click here to access your account’s Security & Privacy page.
  • Click “Edit two-factor authentication settings”
  • Follow the prompts to verify your account
  • Use this guide to use the Twilio Authy App
  • Or use this guide to use Google Authenticator
  • Save the emergency code provided! Your future self will be so appreciative, we promise!

Don’t miss our Pi 2FA FAQ!

clip from Ask an Engineer, 3/16/2022:


Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Join 35,000+ makers on Adafruit’s Discord channels and be part of the community! http://adafru.it/discord
