Authenticator App - Novaz

Remote Desktop Manager 2FA Setup Guide

remotedesktopmanager.com Supported

Protect your Remote Desktop Manager account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Once enabled, signing in also requires a one-time code from your authenticator app — not just your password.

A Remote Desktop Manager account often holds work and project data, so 2FA keeps it private. Remote Desktop Manager secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to Remote Desktop Manager and open your Remote Desktop Manager 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 Remote Desktop Manager 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 Remote Desktop Manager account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Remote Desktop Manager account

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