Authenticator App - Novaz

Transport Victoria 2FA Setup Guide

transport.vic.gov.au Supported

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

A Transport Victoria account can be tied to trips and payment details, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Transport Victoria also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

2FA methods Transport Victoria supports

  • SMS text message
  • 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 Transport Victoria's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Transport Victoria and open your Transport Victoria 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 Transport Victoria 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 Transport Victoria account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Transport Victoria account

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