Letterboxd 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

letterboxd.com Supported

Protect your Letterboxd account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

A Letterboxd account is linked to your profile and payment details, so 2FA is worth it. Letterboxd secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your Letterboxd account

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