Gandi 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

gandi.net Supported

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

Whoever controls your Gandi account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. Besides an authenticator app, Gandi also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Gandi also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods Gandi supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  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 Gandi's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Gandi account

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