We strongly recommend that a separate physical device such as a phone, tablet or hardware key be used for multi factor authentication. 

Google authenticator for mobile devices can scan the generated QR code using the device camera to retrieve the token key and setup your authentication.

For desktop authenticators such as a YubiKey hardware key, a screen capture function is available where it can capture the generated displayed QR code from the screen.

Otherwise for applications such as WinAuth you will need to copy and paste the URL to the QR code image or manually input the key code into the authenticator.

Once the key generator window is closed, your keys are no longer accessible using this function and need to be regenerated and you are returned to your user details.


5. Performance check 

Once your authenticator is setup, it is advisable to test it before setting your user preferences to enforce Two-Factor Authentication on login, should the key be wrong technical support will need to reset the users access.
