Tilaa 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

tilaa.com Supported

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

A Tilaa account can hold your files and backups of everything else, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, Tilaa also offers a hardware token. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

2FA methods Tilaa supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Hardware token
  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 Tilaa's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Tilaa account

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