STRATO 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

strato.de Supported

STRATO supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your STRATO account.

Whoever controls your STRATO account controls your domains, so 2FA keeps them from being stolen. STRATO secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your STRATO account

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