Visma Authenticator is a free app for your phone. It confirms that it is really you when you sign in with your Visma account. This is called two-step verification (2FA).

Approve a sign-in

  1. Sign in with your email and password, for example in Nmbrs or another Visma application.

  2. Your phone shows a notification from Visma Authenticator.

  3. Tap the notification. The app opens.

  4. Tap Approve.

  5. Go back to the sign-in screen. It continues by itself.

Approve and Deny in the app

No Approve button? You only see Approve when you open the notification. If you open the app from its icon, you only see your accounts and codes. No notification? See Problems signing in.

You did not try to sign in? Tap Deny. Someone may know your password. Change your password in Account Settings.

Use a 6-digit code instead

You do not type the code in the app. You type it on the sign-in screen.

  1. On the sign-in screen, click Try another way.

  2. Choose the option to use a code from your authenticator app.

  3. Open Visma Authenticator on your phone. Find your email address.

  4. Type the 6 digits on the sign-in screen. The code changes every 30 seconds, so type it before the circle runs out.

Add your account to the app

Most people do this once, the first time they are asked to set up 2FA. Set up two-step verification (2FA)

Can I use another authenticator app?

Yes. Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator and similar apps work with 6-digit codes. They do not get notifications, so you always type the code.

Can I turn 2FA off?

Often you cannot. The application you sign in to decides that 2FA is required, to protect salary, bank and company data. Ask your employer or the support of that application.

Want to sign in with your fingerprint or face instead? See Passkeys.
