Republic 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

republic.com Supported

Republic lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Republic account safe even if your password leaks.

A Republic account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Republic secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Republic displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Republic account

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