eclincher 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

eclincher.com Supported

eclincher lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your eclincher account safe even if your password leaks.

A hijacked eclincher account can be used to impersonate you and scam your contacts, so 2FA matters. eclincher secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods eclincher supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code eclincher displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your eclincher account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your eclincher account

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