Nexon 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on Nexon to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Nexon asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
A Nexon account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. Besides an authenticator app, Nexon also offers email codes and 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.

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