ServerPilot 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

serverpilot.io Supported

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

Losing a ServerPilot account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. ServerPilot secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your ServerPilot account

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