put.io 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

put.io Supported

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

A put.io account may store backups of your most important data, so 2FA keeps that safe. put.io secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to put.io and open your put.io 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 put.io 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 put.io account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your put.io account

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