Cal.com 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

cal.com Supported

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

A Cal.com account carries private conversations, so keeping it secure with 2FA matters. Cal.com secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

  2. 2

    Sign in to Cal.com and open your Cal.com 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 Cal.com 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 Cal.com account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your Cal.com account

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