Authenticator App - Novaz

HashiCorp Cloud Platform 2FA Setup Guide

cloud.hashicorp.com Supported

HashiCorp Cloud Platform 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 HashiCorp Cloud Platform account.

A HashiCorp Cloud Platform account can hold your files and backups of everything else, so protect it with 2FA. HashiCorp Cloud Platform secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods HashiCorp Cloud Platform supports

  • 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 HashiCorp Cloud Platform's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to HashiCorp Cloud Platform and open your HashiCorp Cloud Platform 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 HashiCorp Cloud Platform 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 HashiCorp Cloud Platform account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your HashiCorp Cloud Platform account

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