Pluralsight 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

pluralsight.com Supported

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

A Pluralsight account holds coursework, records, and personal data worth protecting with 2FA. Pluralsight secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Pluralsight account

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