Skinport 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

skinport.com Supported

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

A Skinport account holds purchases, in-game items, and payment details that thieves can resell. Besides an authenticator app, Skinport also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods Skinport supports

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your Skinport account

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