Logging in for the first time with Two-Factor authentication (2FA)

You will be presented with this page when you first log in with Two-Factor authentication (2FA).

Here’s a step-by-step description of this process:

• Generate a QR Code or Secret Key: The page above will provide a QR code or a secret key. This code is unique to your account and is used to set up the authenticator app.

• Open Authenticator App: Open your authenticator app on your mobile device (such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator).

• Add Account: In the authenticator app, choose the option to add a new account. You will usually see options to scan a QR code or enter a setup key manually.

• Scan QR Code or Enter Key: Use your phone’s camera to scan the QR code displayed by the service, or manually enter the secret key provided.

• Verify Code: The authenticator app will generate a time-based one-time password (TOTP). Enter this code back into the website or service to verify the setup.

• Complete Setup: Once verified, the account is linked to the authenticator app. From now on, you will need to use the generated codes from the app to log into your account, providing an additional layer of security.
