Blacknight 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

blacknight.com Supported

Protect your Blacknight account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

Losing a Blacknight account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. Blacknight secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Blacknight account

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