CoinSpot 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

coinspot.com.au Supported

CoinSpot 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 CoinSpot account.

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your CoinSpot sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, CoinSpot 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.

2FA methods CoinSpot supports

  • SMS text message
  • 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 CoinSpot's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your CoinSpot account

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