If MFA is not yet enabled on your account, you will not see this message and will advance right to the next step.

Step 5

Change the selected method from ‘Authentication phone’ to ‘Mobile app.’

Step 6

Select ‘Receive notifications for verification’ and click ‘Set up.’

Step 7

You will be presented with a QR code. Do not click on anything yet on this screen.

Go back to your mobile device.

Step 8

Open the Authenticator app on your mobile device. Click ‘OK’ for the Data Privacy notification.

Step 9

Click ‘SCAN QR CODE.’

Step 10

Click ‘ALLOW’ to allow the app to use your camera.

Step 11

Using your mobile device, scan the QR code being presented on the web page on your computer.

Optional step

You will be asked to provide a mobile phone number as a backup authentication method. This is an optional step and can be skipped. To skip this step click on ‘Done.’

Please be careful not to click on the drop-down asking you to select a country, and do not click in the text field where the phone number is to be entered. Doing so alters the page and makes the fields become required.

If the page does not let you proceed, simply close the browser window. Your setup is complete and will not be lost.
