Authenticator App - Novaz

ThreatConnect 2FA Setup with an Authenticator App

threatconnect.com Supported

ThreatConnect 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 ThreatConnect account.

A ThreatConnect account is part of your security setup, so it deserves strong 2FA of its own. ThreatConnect secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your ThreatConnect account

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