TinyURL 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

tinyurl.com Supported

TinyURL 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 TinyURL account.

A hijacked TinyURL account can be used to impersonate you and scam your contacts, so 2FA matters. TinyURL secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your TinyURL account

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