N-able 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

n-able.com Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on N-able to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, N-able asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.

A N-able account may store backups of your most important data, so 2FA keeps that safe. N-able secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

  1. 1

    Install Authenticator App - Novaz from the App Store on your iPhone or iPad and open it — you'll use it to scan N-able's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to N-able and open your N-able 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 N-able 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 N-able account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your N-able account

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