Nitrado 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

server.nitrado.net Supported

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

Losing a Nitrado account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Nitrado also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Nitrado also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods Nitrado supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  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 Nitrado's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Nitrado account

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