Flexera 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

flexera.com Supported

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

A Flexera account can hold your files and backups of everything else, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Flexera 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 Flexera 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 Flexera's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Flexera account

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