o2switch 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

o2switch.fr Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on o2switch to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, o2switch asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.

Losing a o2switch account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, o2switch also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods o2switch supports

  • Email code
  • 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 o2switch's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to o2switch and open your o2switch 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 o2switch 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 o2switch account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

    If o2switch shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how o2switch recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.

How to recover your o2switch account

If you lose access to your authenticator and o2switch 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 o2switch doesn't, or you didn't save them, use o2switch's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
