Steps to follow for setting up 2FA using an Authenticator app:
- Download the Authenticator app from the App Store/Play Store. Recommended apps include Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator, and Oracle Authenticator.
- Reset the 2FA in the settings. Upon login using username and password, the initial 2FA will be sent to the email associated with the user’s account.
- Then the user will navigate to the page for setting up Authentication using the authenticator app.
- On the authentication setup page, locate the QR Code provided. Use the “+” icon in the authenticator app to scan the QR code.
- After scanning, a 6-digit code will be displayed on the authenticator app. Note: The code expires after 30 seconds and is automatically regenerated.
- Enter the 6-digit code from the authenticator app into the field labeled “Verification Code” on the setup page.
- Click the next button to generate the backup code (8 digits) for the corresponding account. This backup code can be used as a verification code during login if needed.
