Finnair 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

finnair.com Supported

Protect your Finnair 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 Finnair account holds bookings and passenger details, so keep it secure with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Finnair also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods Finnair supports

  • SMS text message
  • 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 Finnair's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your Finnair account

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