Phrase 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

phrase.com Supported

Protect your Phrase account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

A Phrase account can expose source code, deploy keys, and infrastructure — prime targets for attackers. Phrase secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Phrase account

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