LastPass 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

lastpass.com Supported

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

A LastPass account is part of your security setup, so it deserves strong 2FA of its own. Besides an authenticator app, LastPass also offers a hardware token, a proprietary app, security keys and 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. For the strongest protection, LastPass also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods LastPass supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Hardware token
  • Proprietary app
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  • SMS text message
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code LastPass 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 LastPass account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your LastPass account

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