Larian 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

larian.com Supported

Larian supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Larian account.

A Larian account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. Besides an authenticator app, Larian 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 Larian supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • SMS text message
  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 Larian's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your Larian account

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