2FA methods Hive supports#

SMS text message

Hive does not offer an authenticator-app (TOTP) option yet. Authenticator apps are safer than SMS, so it's worth requesting.

How to keep your Hive account secure#

Use a long, unique password (a password manager helps), turn on any 2FA method Hive offers, and stay alert to phishing. See Hive's official security documentation ↗. If Hive adds authenticator-app support, you'll be able to use Authenticator App - Novaz.

How to recover your Hive account#

If you lose access to your authenticator, most Hive accounts are recovered with the backup or recovery codes you saved when you turned on 2FA — so store them somewhere safe, separate from your phone. If you didn't save them, use Hive's account-recovery or support process to regain access (see the official Hive documentation ↗). Saving your recovery codes when you enable 2FA is the single best way to avoid being locked out.
