Onet 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

onet.pl Supported

Onet lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Onet account safe even if your password leaks.

Your Onet inbox is the master key to your other accounts — attackers use it to reset passwords everywhere. Besides an authenticator app, Onet also offers security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, Onet also supports hardware security keys.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Onet account

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