Nominet 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

nominet.uk Supported

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

Whoever controls your Nominet account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. Nominet secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Nominet account

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