BlockFi 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

blockfi.com Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your BlockFi sign-in with 2FA is essential. BlockFi secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your BlockFi account

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