Schneider Electric 2FA Setup Guide
Schneider Electric supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your Schneider Electric account.
A Schneider Electric account can control connected devices in your home, so 2FA keeps intruders out. Schneider Electric secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.
2FA methods Schneider Electric supports
- Authenticator app (TOTP)

Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.
Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Schneider Electric displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.
- 5

- 6
Save a way to recover your account.
If Schneider Electric shows backup or recovery codes, store them somewhere safe, away from your phone. If it doesn't, check how Schneider Electric recovers accounts (support, an admin, or another sign-in method) before you need it.
Menu names on Schneider Electric can change — the official Schneider Electric 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your Schneider Electric account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Schneider Electric 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 Schneider Electric doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Schneider Electric's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
