Authenticator App - Novaz

US Patent and Trademark Office 2FA Setup Guide

uspto.gov Supported

Enable two-factor authentication on US Patent and Trademark Office to stop unauthorized logins. After setup, US Patent and Trademark Office asks for a rotating code from Authenticator App - Novaz in addition to your password.

A US Patent and Trademark Office account can expose official records and identity data, so strong 2FA is important. Besides an authenticator app, US Patent and Trademark Office also offers email codes, SMS text codes and phone-call 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.

2FA methods US Patent and Trademark Office supports

  • Email code
  • SMS text message
  • Phone call
  • 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 US Patent and Trademark Office's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Sign in to US Patent and Trademark Office and open your US Patent and Trademark Office account security settings.

  3. 3

    Turn on two-factor authentication and choose the authenticator-app option.

  4. 4

    Scan the QR code with Authenticator App - Novaz.

    Save a way to recover your account.

Menu names on US Patent and Trademark Office can change — the official US Patent and Trademark Office 2FA documentation ↗ always has the exact, current path.

How to recover your US Patent and Trademark Office account

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