Transifex 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

transifex.com Supported

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

A Transifex account can expose source code, deploy keys, and infrastructure — prime targets for attackers. Transifex secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Transifex account

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