Changelly 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

changelly.com Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Changelly sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, Changelly also offers a hardware token. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods Changelly supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Hardware token
  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 Changelly's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Changelly account

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