Porkbun 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

porkbun.com Supported

Porkbun 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 Porkbun account.

Whoever controls your Porkbun account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. Besides an authenticator app, Porkbun also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Porkbun also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods Porkbun supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to Porkbun and open your Porkbun account security settings.

  3. 3

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

    Look for "Authenticator app", "Authentication app", or "TOTP" rather than SMS.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Porkbun displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

  5. 5

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Porkbun account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If Porkbun shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Porkbun recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

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

How to recover your Porkbun account

If you lose access to your authenticator and Porkbun 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 Porkbun doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Porkbun's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
