Quidax 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

quidax.com Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Quidax sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, Quidax 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 Quidax supports

  • SMS text message
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Quidax account

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