WeTransfer 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

wetransfer.com Supported

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

A WeTransfer account may store backups of your most important data, so 2FA keeps that safe. WeTransfer secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your WeTransfer account

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