dinahosting 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

dinahosting.com Supported

dinahosting 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 dinahosting account.

Losing a dinahosting account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. dinahosting secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your dinahosting account

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