DNSFilter 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

dnsfilter.com Supported

Protect your DNSFilter 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 DNSFilter account is part of your security setup, so it deserves strong 2FA of its own. DNSFilter secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your DNSFilter account

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