HP 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

hp.com Supported

HP 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 HP account.

Your HP account stores addresses, order history, and sometimes saved cards, which makes it a common target. HP secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods HP 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 HP's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your HP account

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