Hytale 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

hytale.com Supported

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

A Hytale account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. Besides an authenticator app, Hytale also offers email codes and security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Hytale also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods Hytale supports

  • Email code
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  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 Hytale's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Hytale account

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