NordPass 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

nordpass.com Supported

NordPass 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 NordPass account.

A NordPass account is part of your security setup, so it deserves strong 2FA of its own. Besides an authenticator app, NordPass also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, NordPass also supports hardware security keys.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your NordPass account

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