Koho 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

koho.ca Supported

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

A Koho account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Besides an authenticator app, Koho also offers SMS text codes and phone-call 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 Koho supports

  • SMS text message
  • Phone call
  • 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 Koho's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Koho account

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