WEDOS 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

wedos.com Supported

WEDOS supports app-based two-factor authentication (2FA). Turning it on adds a second layer of protection, so a stolen password alone can't unlock your WEDOS account.

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

2FA methods WEDOS 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 WEDOS's QR code and generate your 6-digit sign-in codes.

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your WEDOS account

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