NiceHash 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

nicehash.com Supported

NiceHash supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your NiceHash account.

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your NiceHash sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, NiceHash also offers a hardware token. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods NiceHash supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Hardware token
  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 NiceHash's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your NiceHash account

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