SmartSurvey 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on SmartSurvey to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, SmartSurvey asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
A SmartSurvey account carries private conversations, so keeping it secure with 2FA matters. Besides an authenticator app, SmartSurvey also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

Menu names on SmartSurvey can change — the official SmartSurvey 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your SmartSurvey account
If you lose access to your authenticator and SmartSurvey 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 SmartSurvey doesn't, or you didn't save them, use SmartSurvey's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
