Can Novaz read my backup?

No. The backup is encrypted and stored in your personal iCloud account. We never receive your accounts or secret keys.

What happens if I turn iCloud backup off?

New changes stop being backed up. Your accounts stay on the device, so keep an export or your services' recovery codes before you wipe or replace the phone.

How to back up your 2FA codes to iCloud

Losing your phone without a backup means re-enrolling every account one by one. Authenticator App can keep an encrypted backup of your accounts in your own iCloud, so a new device restores everything in seconds.

Turn on iCloud backup

Open Authenticator App and go to its settings.
Find the backup section and turn on iCloud backup.
Make sure you're signed in to iCloud on the device and that iCloud Drive is available.
Wait for the first backup to finish — after that it keeps itself up to date.

Good to know

The backup is encrypted, so the contents aren't readable by anyone who can't unlock it.
The backup lives in your own iCloud account — it isn't sent to Novaz.
A backup is not a substitute for each service's own recovery codes; keep those too.
