APNIC 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on APNIC to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, APNIC asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
Turning on 2FA for APNIC adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. APNIC secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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