Authenticator App - Novaz

Pivotal Tracker 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App

pivotaltracker.com Supported

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

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to Pivotal Tracker and open your Pivotal Tracker 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 Pivotal Tracker 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 Pivotal Tracker account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Pivotal Tracker account

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