Kanka 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

kanka.io Supported

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

A Kanka account can hold your creative work and files, so protect it with 2FA. Kanka secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Kanka account

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