AppVeyor 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

appveyor.com Supported

AppVeyor lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your AppVeyor account safe even if your password leaks.

A AppVeyor account can expose source code, deploy keys, and infrastructure — prime targets for attackers. AppVeyor secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods AppVeyor 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 AppVeyor's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to AppVeyor and open your AppVeyor 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 AppVeyor 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 AppVeyor account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your AppVeyor account

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