CoinMarketCap 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App
CoinMarketCap lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your CoinMarketCap account safe even if your password leaks.
Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your CoinMarketCap sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, CoinMarketCap also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.
Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code CoinMarketCap displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

Save a way to recover your account.
If CoinMarketCap shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how CoinMarketCap recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
How to recover your CoinMarketCap account
If you lose access to your authenticator and CoinMarketCap 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 CoinMarketCap doesn't, or you didn't save them, use CoinMarketCap's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
