How to Enable 2FA with Google Authenticator (GA)

Google Authenticator is an application that implements two-step verification services for our users as an added layer of security. It uses a time-based one-time password algorithm and HMAC-based one-time password algorithm for authenticating users of mobile applications by Google.

To set up 2FA with Google Authenticator (GA) follow the steps below:

  • Download the GA app
  • Once the GA app is installed, login into your Noones account on a different device
  • Hover over your username on the top right corner of the page and click Settings from the menu
  • On the settings menu, click Security
  • On the security page, under Two-factor authentication (2FA) settings, choose Google Authenticator
  • Click Activate now and a QR code appears
  • Scan the QR code with your phone by using the Google Authenticator app. A 6-digit code will appear on the app or you can copy the code for manual setup.
  • Enter the 6-digit code into the field below the QR code. Your code will be automatically submitted once you input the code.
  • Once your code is automatically submitted, a menu will appear.
    • To verify that 2FA via GA is turned on, make sure it says Activated
    • For more security, check all the toggles under the Enable 2FA column
  • When all toggles are blue, you’re done! 2FA via Google Authenticator is set up
