Coda 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

coda.io Supported

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

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Coda account

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