TorGuard 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

torguard.net Supported

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

A TorGuard account guards your private connection, so protect the login itself with 2FA. TorGuard secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

How to recover your TorGuard account

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