How to enable 2-factor authentication

April 19th, 2020, 9:54 am

There are many two factor authentication software such as Microsoft authenticator, google authenticator, Authy. You can use any of them as far as the software is trust worthy.

Using Google Authenticator

Anyways in this tutorial I will be using Google authenticator. You can download it from the play store.

Download Here

[+] Google Authenticator

Using Authy

Authy has both mobile application and desktop application. You could use both of them

There is a guide by their official website where you could use authy in various platforms Here

Or download the mobile application Here
[+] Authy Desktop

[+] Authy Mobile Application

Both mobile applications will have two options.

1) Scan the barcode
2) Enter the code
((Authy desktop application only has Enter code option))
You can choose either of them

1) Scan the barcode given in your 2FA tab
2) Copy and paste the secret code given above the barcode.

After that your account will be enabled with 2-factor authentication. It is that simple.

Next when you login to your account, your account will look like this.

Open your authenticator applications. There will be a random code with 6 numbers. It will be renewed all the time. Enter that number into the OTP field when you are logging.

You can use any of the authenticators, but it is highly recommended to use Authy as your 2FA.
That is all. Hope you all got some knowledge about it! :)

I recommend to use Authy instead, it allows to sync OTP secrets between devices, has a desktop & mobile app, so even if you switch phones you won't lose access: https://authy.com/

Seeing it from discord I first used Google Authenticator, now but when I tried to change it to Authy I couldnt because there is no disable 2FA option available, it is very, very neccessary to put the option of disabling it too.

Is there anyway to disable it? every time i have to check for new code via mobile, it's annoying..

Allow us if anyone want to disactivate this feature.

woot should add a way to disable it. I don't think we can do it on our own. xD

Yes that is true. But in a way it is for our own safety.
