Purse 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

purse.io Supported

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

Your Purse account stores addresses, order history, and sometimes saved cards, which makes it a common target. Purse secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Purse account

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