SMSPool 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

smspool.net Supported

Protect your SMSPool 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 SMSPool account carries private conversations, so keeping it secure with 2FA matters. SMSPool secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your SMSPool account

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