UPS 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App
Enable two-factor authentication on UPS to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, UPS asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.
A UPS account can hold your deliveries and addresses, so protect it with 2FA. Besides an authenticator app, UPS also offers email codes. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience.

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