Here we'll explain how to set up 2FA using a mobile app, like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator.

 NOTE: We don't recommend a specific authenticator. You can find several options on your app store. 

1. Download and install the app of your choice.
    NOTE: To learn about the benefits of using an app, visit our Benefits of using 2-factor authentication with an app guide.  
2. Open your authenticator app and choose the option to add a new account.
3. Select the Scan a QR code option.
4. Use your authenticator app to scan the QR code in the 2FA setup window.
   
   
5. Enter the 6-digit code from the authenticator into the setup using an app screen and select Continue.
6. Make a note of your 24-digit recovery code and store it in a safe location.
    NOTE: If your 2FA method is ever unavailable, you need this code to access your account. 
   
7. Select the I have saved my recovery code check box, then click Continue.
8. The setup is now complete, and you can now log in to your account.
