20i 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

20i.com Supported

20i 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 20i account.

Whoever controls your 20i account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. 20i secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods 20i supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

    Install Authenticator App - Novaz from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and open it — you'll use it to scan 20i's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to 20i and open your 20i 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 20i 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 20i account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If 20i shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how 20i recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

Menu names on 20i can change — the official 20i 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your 20i account

If you lose access to your authenticator and 20i 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 20i doesn't, or you didn't save them, use 20i's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
