Trimble 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on Trimble to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, Trimble asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
Turning on 2FA for Trimble adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone isn't enough to get in. Besides an authenticator app, Trimble also offers SMS text codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience — and it's safer than SMS codes, which can be intercepted through SIM-swap attacks.

Save a way to recover your account.

Menu names on Trimble can change — the official Trimble 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.
How to recover your Trimble account
If you lose access to your authenticator and Trimble 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 Trimble doesn't, or you didn't save them, use Trimble's account-recovery or support process (or ask your admin, for a work account) to get back in.
