Mercury Cash 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

mercury.cash Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Mercury Cash sign-in with 2FA is essential. Mercury Cash secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to Mercury Cash and open your Mercury Cash 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 Mercury Cash 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 Mercury Cash account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Mercury Cash account

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