WhaleFin 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

whalefin.com Supported

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

Crypto transactions can't be reversed, so protecting your WhaleFin sign-in with 2FA is essential. WhaleFin secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your WhaleFin account

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