StormGain 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

stormgain.com Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your StormGain sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, StormGain 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.

2FA methods StormGain supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • SMS text message
  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 StormGain's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your StormGain account

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