Authenticator App - Novaz

FollowMyHealth 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App

followmyhealth.com Supported

Protect your FollowMyHealth 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 FollowMyHealth account holds sensitive health information that's well worth protecting with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, FollowMyHealth also offers SMS text codes and email 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 FollowMyHealth supports

  • SMS text message
  • Email code
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your FollowMyHealth account

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