Hostinger 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

hostinger.com Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on Hostinger to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Hostinger asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.

Losing a Hostinger account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Hostinger also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods Hostinger supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Email code
  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 Hostinger's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Hostinger account

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