ClouDNS 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

cloudns.net Supported

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

Whoever controls your ClouDNS account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. ClouDNS secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your ClouDNS account

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