Resend 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on Resend to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Resend asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
A Resend account carries private conversations, so keeping it secure with 2FA matters. Resend secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

Save a way to recover your account.
If Resend shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Resend recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
How to recover your Resend account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Resend 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 Resend doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Resend's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
