  • 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 GMX.net's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to GMX.net and open your GMX.net 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 GMX.net 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 GMX.net account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your GMX.net account

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