VaultCord 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

vaultcord.com Supported

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

A VaultCord account may store backups of your most important data, so 2FA keeps that safe. Besides an authenticator app, VaultCord also offers email codes and security keys. An authenticator app (TOTP) is usually the best balance of security and convenience. For the strongest protection, VaultCord also supports hardware security keys.

2FA methods VaultCord supports

  • Email code
  • Authenticator app (TOTP)
  • Security key (U2F / WebAuthn)
  1. 1

    Download Authenticator App - Novaz

  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 VaultCord 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 VaultCord account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your VaultCord account

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