RuneScape 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

runescape.com Supported

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

A RuneScape account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. RuneScape secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

    Sign in to RuneScape and open your RuneScape 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 RuneScape 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 RuneScape account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your RuneScape account

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