BtcTurk 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

btcturk.com Supported

BtcTurk supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your BtcTurk account.

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your BtcTurk sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, BtcTurk also offers SMS text codes and email 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 BtcTurk supports

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

  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your BtcTurk account

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