Clover 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Protect your Clover 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 Clover account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Besides an authenticator app, Clover also offers SMS text 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.

Menu names on Clover can change — the official Clover 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your Clover account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Clover 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 Clover doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Clover's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
