Share Datadog 2FA with your team — without screenshots.
Most teams sharing Datadog access do it badly: a screenshot in Slack, a personal phone in someone's drawer, a 1Password note that drifts out of date. Here's the right way.
The setup
Three minutes from sign-up to first Datadog code.
- 01Sign up for Kaito. Free 14-day trial, no credit card. You'll set up MFA on your own account before adding any tokens.
- 02Add the Datadog 2FA seed. In Kaito, go to Tokens → New and either scan the Datadog 2FA QR code or paste the secret. Kaito auto-resolves the Datadog icon.
- 03Choose who can see the code. Create a group (e.g. datadog-admins), add the relevant teammates, and grant the group code-only permission on the token.
- 04Generate the first code. Anyone in the group opens the token in Kaito and sees the current 6-digit code with a 30-second countdown ring. The view is logged immediately to the audit log.
Why this is better
The Datadog screenshot in Slack vs. Kaito.
Screenshot in Slack
- • Searchable by everyone in the workspace
- • Replicated to every device anyone has logged Slack in on
- • Stays in DM history when teammates leave
- • No record of who used it when
- • Encodes the seed itself, valid forever
Datadog via Kaito
- • Seed encrypted at rest, never sent to clients
- • Group-permissioned: only authorized teammates see the code
- • Auto-revoked when someone leaves the group
- • Every code view logged with user, IP, time
- • One-click rotation when needed

Sharing OK for Datadog
Datadog's terms of service permit shared access. Using Kaito gives you the audit trail to demonstrate, on demand, exactly who used the credential and when.
