How to enable 2FA on Nulab

← Nulab overview Supported

Nulab 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 Nulab account.

Step-by-step setup

1
Sign in to Nulab and open your Nulab 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 Nulab 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 Nulab account.
5
Save your backup codes.
Store the recovery codes Nulab gives you somewhere safe — you'll need them if you lose your phone.

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