Tebex 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

tebex.io Supported

Tebex lets you secure your account with an authenticator app. With 2FA on, each login needs a fresh 6-digit code, keeping your Tebex account safe even if your password leaks.

A Tebex account can be tied to your money and personal finances, so a stolen password is a direct financial risk. Besides an authenticator app, Tebex also offers SMS text codes and email 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 Tebex supports

  • SMS text message
  • Email code
  • 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 Tebex's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your Tebex account

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