DCS World 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

digitalcombatsimulator.com Supported

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

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to DCS World and open your DCS World 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 DCS World 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 DCS World account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your DCS World account

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