Lokalise 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

lokalise.com Supported

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

A Lokalise account can expose source code, deploy keys, and infrastructure — prime targets for attackers. Lokalise secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Lokalise account

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