Plutus 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

plutus.it Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Plutus sign-in with 2FA is essential. Plutus secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Plutus account

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