SketchUp 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

sketchup.com Supported

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

A SketchUp account can hold your creative work and files, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, SketchUp also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

  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 SketchUp's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your SketchUp account

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