Windscribe 2FA: How to Set Up an Authenticator App

windscribe.com Supported

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

A Windscribe account guards your private connection, so protect the login itself with 2FA. Windscribe secures sign-ins with an authenticator app — set it up once and you're protected on every login.

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

    Download on the App Store
  2. 2

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

  6. 6

    Save a way to recover your account.

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

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

How to recover your Windscribe account

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