CPOMS 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

cpoms.co.uk Supported

CPOMS 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 CPOMS account.

Turning on 2FA for CPOMS adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. Besides an authenticator app, CPOMS also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, CPOMS also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods CPOMS supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  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 CPOMS's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your CPOMS account

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