Authenticator App for FiveM: How to Set Up 2FA for Your Cfx.re Account

FiveM account security is managed through your Cfx.re account, where you can enable Two-Factor Authentication, connect a token-based authenticator, add a security key, and generate backup codes. Cfx.re officially supports authenticator apps such as Google Authenticator, and other compatible TOTP authenticator apps can work when enrolled through the same setup process.

If you use Authenticator App by Begamob, start from your Cfx.re 2FA settings, scan the QR code provided during setup, and confirm the generated verification code.

Does FiveM Support an Authenticator App?

Yes. FiveM users can protect their Cfx.re account with Two-Factor Authentication.

Cfx.re currently supports several second-factor options, including:

• token-based authenticator apps;
• physical security keys such as YubiKey;
• backup codes for account recovery.

Cfx.re describes authenticator-based 2FA as a system in which a private key is shared between the Cfx account and the selected authentication app. The app then produces a time-limited verification code used together with your username and password.

This means you should always enable the authenticator from your Cfx.re account settings rather than manually creating a FiveM entry inside an authenticator app.

How to Set Up a FiveM Authenticator App

The authenticator is connected through your Cfx.re account rather than from inside the FiveM game client.

Step 1: Sign In to Your Cfx.re Account

Open the official Cfx.re account or forum login and sign in with the account you use for FiveM.

Make sure you are configuring the correct account, especially if you have server assets, Keymaster resources, or other FiveM-related services associated with it.

Step 2: Open Two-Factor Authentication Settings

Go to your Cfx.re account preferences and open the Two-Factor Authentication or Second Factor settings.

Cfx.re’s official support documentation directs users to the account’s second-factor preferences page to add, change, or remove 2FA.

Step 3: Choose a Token-Based Authenticator

Select the option for a token-based authenticator.

Cfx.re will provide the setup information required to connect your authenticator. Follow the instructions displayed for your account.

Step 4: Open Authenticator App by Begamob

Open Authenticator App by Begamob on your phone and choose the option to add a new account.

Scan the QR code displayed by Cfx.re during the 2FA enrollment process.

Once the setup information is added, the app will begin generating temporary verification codes for your Cfx.re account.

Step 5: Enter the Verification Code

Return to Cfx.re and enter the current code shown in Authenticator App.

Use a fresh code if the current one is close to expiring.

After Cfx.re accepts the verification code, complete the setup.

Step 6: Generate and Save Your Backup Codes

Do not skip this step.

Cfx.re allows users to generate backup codes specifically for situations where the normal authenticator is unavailable. Its current recovery guidance states that these codes can be used to regain access to an account after losing the original 2FA method.

Store them somewhere secure and separate from the phone running your authenticator.

Using Authenticator App by Begamob With FiveM

Authenticator App by Begamob can be used with services that provide compatible TOTP setup information.

For a Cfx.re account, the normal workflow is:

Cfx.re account → Two-Factor Authentication → Token-based authenticator → Scan QR code → Enter verification code → Save backup codes

Once connected, Authenticator App generates temporary codes that can be used when Cfx.re requests your second authentication factor.

The important part is that Cfx.re must create the enrollment first. Simply adding an account called “FiveM” or “Cfx.re” manually will not create a working authentication relationship unless you use the secret provided by Cfx.re.
