A Abode account can control connected devices in your home, so 2FA keeps intruders out. Abode secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Abode account

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