Leaseweb 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

leaseweb.com Supported

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

A Leaseweb account can hold your files and backups of everything else, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Leaseweb 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 Leaseweb 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 Leaseweb's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Leaseweb account

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