Jottacloud 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

jottacloud.com Supported

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

A Jottacloud account may store backups of your most important data, so 2FA keeps that safe. Besides an authenticator app, Jottacloud also offers 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 Jottacloud supports

  • 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 Jottacloud's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Jottacloud and open your Jottacloud 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 Jottacloud displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Jottacloud account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Jottacloud account

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