Adyen 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on Adyen to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Adyen asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
A Adyen account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Adyen secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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