CMG 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

checkmategaming.com Supported

CMG 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 CMG account.

A CMG account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. CMG secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your CMG account

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