How to enable 2FA on Pushover

← Pushover overview Supported

Pushover 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 Pushover account.

Step-by-step setup

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

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