Microworkers 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on Microworkers to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Microworkers asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
Turning on 2FA for Microworkers adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. Besides an authenticator app, Microworkers also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

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