Plurk 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

plurk.com Supported

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

A hijacked Plurk account can be used to impersonate you and scam your contacts, so 2FA matters. Plurk secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Plurk account

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