MEXC 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

mexc.com Supported

MEXC supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your MEXC account.

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

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your MEXC account

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