Authenticator App - Novaz

GeForce (Nvidia) 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App

geforce.com Supported

GeForce (Nvidia) supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your GeForce (Nvidia) account.

A GeForce (Nvidia) account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. Besides an authenticator app, GeForce (Nvidia) also offers email codes and security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, GeForce (Nvidia) also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods GeForce (Nvidia) supports

  • Email code
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)

Menu names on GeForce (Nvidia) can change — the official GeForce (Nvidia) 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your GeForce (Nvidia) account

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