Steps

  1. Download and install the Authenticator app from your mobile device's app store
  2. Set up a new account and either:
    • Scan this QR code image with the Authenticator App,
    • Or enter the following code:
      • XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
  3. (optionally) Safeguard this secret in a secure location:
    • Save a picture of this QR code or the numerical code
    • This could be used in the future to transfer to another device
  4. Verify the configuration by entering the code that the Authenticator app provides
  5. Press the Verify button before the code expires
    • A new code will display every 30 seconds
  6. Be aware: that the device time needs to remain accurate
    • Allow the device to remain in-sync with Network Time Protocol (NTP)
    • This authentication algorithm relies on accurate time to function correctly
