Valr 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

valr.com Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your Valr sign-in with 2FA is essential. Besides an authenticator app, Valr 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.

2FA methods Valr supports

  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • SMS text message
  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 Valr's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Valr account

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