Dashlane 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Dashlane lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Dashlane account safe even if your password leaks.
A Dashlane account is part of your security setup, so it deserves strong 2FA of its own. Dashlane secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.
2FA methods Dashlane supports
- Authenticator app (TOTP)
- 1
Download Authenticator App - Novaz
Install Authenticator App - Novaz from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and open it — you'll use it to scan Dashlane's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.
- 2
Sign in to Dashlane and open your Dashlane account security settings.

- 4
Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.
Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Dashlane displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
- 5
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Dashlane account.
- 6
Save a way to recover your account.
If Dashlane shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Dashlane recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
Menu names on Dashlane can change — the official Dashlane 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your Dashlane account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Dashlane gave you backup or recovery codes when you turned on 2FA, sign in with one of them; keep them somewhere safe, away from your phone. Not every service issues codes. If Dashlane doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Dashlane's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
