Huobi 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

huobi.com Supported

Huobi lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Huobi account safe even if your password leaks.

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Huobi sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, Huobi also offers email codes and SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods Huobi supports

  • Email code
  • SMS text message
  • 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 Huobi's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Huobi account

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