Monday.com 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

monday.com Supported

Protect your Monday.com 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 Monday.com account often holds work and project data, so 2FA keeps it private. Besides an authenticator app, Monday.com also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods Monday.com supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • SMS text message

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Monday.com displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Monday.com account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Monday.com account

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