By using the Google Authenticator app, the user can scan the provided QR Code to tie their account to the Google Authenticator security service, which provides the user with a randomly generated 6-digit access code every few seconds for an additional layer of account security that is safe, simple and efficient.
Additionally, users receive recovery codes for accessing their account if their 2FA device is lost. Storing these codes securely, such as in a password manager, is recommended. Users have the option to generate a new set of recovery codes by clicking the "Regenerate Recovery Codes" button if they wany to do so.
EACH INDIVIDUAL RECOVERY CODE CAN ONLY BE USED ONCE.
