Betfair 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

betfair.com Supported

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

A Betfair account is tied to your balance and payments, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Betfair also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods Betfair supports

  • SMS text message
  • 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 Betfair's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Betfair account

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