SmartSimple 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

smartsimple.com Supported

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

Turning on 2FA for SmartSimple adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. Besides an authenticator app, SmartSimple also offers a hardware token. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods SmartSimple supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Hardware token
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

  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 SmartSimple 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 SmartSimple account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your SmartSimple account

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