Broadcom 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

broadcom.com Supported

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

A Broadcom account can hold your files and backups of everything else, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Broadcom also offers SMS text codes, phone-call codes and a proprietary app. 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 Broadcom supports

  • SMS text message
  • Phone call
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Proprietary app
  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 Broadcom's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Broadcom account

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