FaucetPay 2FA: how to set up an authenticator app
By the Novaz team · Updated October 29, 2026
Novaz steps checked against version 1.0.5

FaucetPay is a crypto micro-wallet: faucet sites, paid-to-click ads and offerwalls pay small amounts into it, and you can swap, transfer or withdraw from there (FaucetPay). Its homepage says two-factor protection is on by default for new accounts (FaucetPay), and its help pages describe a verification code that FaucetPay emails you when you log in (FaucetPay). You can replace that email code with a code from an authenticator app. The catch: FaucetPay doesn't hand out backup codes. The one thing that saves you if you lose your phone is the 2FA Key it shows during setup, and FaucetPay says it can't restore that key for you (FaucetPay).
This guide uses Authenticator App - Novaz on iPhone. Any authenticator app works the same way.
How we checked this guide: the FaucetPay steps come from FaucetPay's own help center at faq.faucetpay.io, linked below, which we read on October 21, 2026. The articles were last updated on April 8, 2026, and have no screenshots. We haven't tested them on a FaucetPay account, so a label may differ slightly. The Novaz steps are checked against the app, version 1.0.5.
Turn on 2FA with an authenticator app
FaucetPay's help describes these steps (FaucetPay):
- Log in to FaucetPay and open the Account Settings page.
- Find the Two-Factor Authentication section. It shows a QR code and your 2FA Key.
- Copy the 2FA Key and store it somewhere safe before you go on. More on this below.
- In Novaz, tap +, then Scan QR code, and point the camera at the code. If FaucetPay is open on the same iPhone, take a screenshot and use Choose a photo instead. See scanning a QR code on the same iPhone.
- If you'd rather type the key, tap +, then Enter key manually. Type FaucetPay as the Service, your email as the Account if you like, and the 2FA Key as the Setup key. See What is a 2FA setup key?
- Type the 6-digit code from Novaz into FaucetPay and click Enable 2FA.
Save the 2FA Key: FaucetPay keeps no copy
FaucetPay's article is blunt about it: the 2FA Key is the only way to recover your 2FA if you lose your phone, and FaucetPay doesn't keep a copy (FaucetPay). Its help center doesn't mention backup or recovery codes at all.
That matters with Novaz too: unless you turn on iCloud backup or export a backup file in Settings › Backup, its keys exist only on the iPhone. So write the key on paper or put it in a password manager, somewhere other than the phone that runs Novaz. A screenshot sitting in the same phone's photo library won't help you if the phone is gone.
With the key saved, you can add FaucetPay to an authenticator app again later using Enter key manually. FaucetPay's pages don't say how long the key is or how often codes change, so we can't confirm every detail. If the key you saved is shorter than 16 characters, Novaz won't accept it by hand.
When FaucetPay asks for a code
Once 2FA is on, FaucetPay asks for a code from the app every time you log in (FaucetPay). The app code takes the place of the emailed login code: if you're waiting for an email that never arrives, check whether you turned on app-based 2FA and open Novaz instead (FaucetPay). The help center doesn't say whether withdrawals or transfers ask for a code too.
If FaucetPay rejects your code
FaucetPay's help doesn't cover rejected app codes. Codes are tied to the time, so start with the iPhone's clock: Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically. Novaz warns you when the clock is 15 seconds or more off. More causes are in Authenticator code not working?
Changing phones
FaucetPay doesn't describe moving 2FA to a new phone, but its pages leave two options. One: on the new iPhone, add FaucetPay in Novaz from the 2FA Key you saved. Two: while you still have the old phone, turn 2FA off in Account Settings with a code from it, then turn it on again and scan the new QR code from the new phone. The second way gives you a fresh key, so save that one and throw the old one away.
If you use Novaz's iCloud backup or a backup file, you can skip both: restore your accounts on the new iPhone with Restore from iCloud or Import from file…, and the FaucetPay codes keep working. See How to transfer your authenticator app to a new iPhone.
If you lose your authenticator
If you saved the 2FA Key, add it to an authenticator app on any phone and log in as usual.
If you didn't, FaucetPay's route is a manual deactivation request. On the screen that asks for your 2FA code at login, click the link at the bottom. It opens a form where you ask FaucetPay to turn off 2FA by hand, and you'll have to give details that show the account is yours (FaucetPay). The article doesn't list which details, and it doesn't say how long the review takes. For other questions, FaucetPay's contact page offers live chat and email support.

Turning 2FA off
If you can still log in and open Novaz, go to Account Settings, enter your current 6-digit code and confirm (FaucetPay). Then remove the entry from Novaz: open it and tap Remove account.
