NairaEx 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

nairaex.com Supported

Protect your NairaEx 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 NairaEx sign-in with 2FA is essential. NairaEx secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your NairaEx account

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