Authenticator App - Novaz

Web Hosting Canada 2FA Setup Guide

whc.ca Supported

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

Losing a Web Hosting Canada account can take your sites or servers offline, so lock it down with 2FA. Web Hosting Canada secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

2FA methods Web Hosting Canada supports

  • 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 Web Hosting Canada's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

  2. 2

    Sign in to Web Hosting Canada and open your Web Hosting Canada 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.

    Open Authenticator App - Novaz, tap add, and point your camera at the QR code Web Hosting Canada displays. Can't scan? Enter the setup key manually instead.

    Enter the 6-digit code to confirm.

    Type the code Authenticator App - Novaz generates to verify and link your Web Hosting Canada account.

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Web Hosting Canada account

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