How to enable 2FA on NordPass

← NordPass overview Supported

NordPass supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your NordPass account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to NordPass and open your NordPass account security settings.
2
Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.
Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.
3
Scan the QR code with MS Authenticator App.
Open MS Authenticator App, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code NordPass displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
4
Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.
Type the code MS Authenticator App generates to verify and link your NordPass account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes NordPass gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

Menu names on NordPass can change — the official NordPass 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
