FlightAware 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

flightaware.com Supported

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

Turning on 2FA for FlightAware adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. FlightAware secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your FlightAware account

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