Install Authy App

First, you need to install this app on your device.

Once the Authy app is installed on your device, you can then set up two-factor authentication.

Go to:

Scan a QR Code

4. With your device, scan the QR code.
5. Select Done.
   Authy may prompt you to share that you use 2FA on Twitter or Google+. Press X to close the prompt.
   Authy adds the account to the app. A 6-digit verification code, which is updated every 30 seconds, displays.

Note: Authy shows how many seconds are left before the code expires. If you don't have time to enter and confirm the code, as there are not many seconds left, wait until the code refreshes and use the latest code.

Note: Authy displays multiple 2FA accounts as tabs at the bottom of the app or as a list depending on whether you have grid or list set.

Note: If you have your accounts displayed in the list format, swipe up to change from an account back to the list.

Tip: Select the copy icon underneath the token expiry to copy the code.
