Authenticator App - Novaz

InMotion Hosting 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App

inmotionhosting.com Supported

Protect your InMotion Hosting account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

Losing a InMotion Hosting account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. InMotion Hosting secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to InMotion Hosting and open your InMotion Hosting 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 InMotion Hosting 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 InMotion Hosting account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your InMotion Hosting account

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