Two-Step Verification is a great way to protect your account. You can also use an authenticator app to set up two-step verification with QuoteMonster. An authenticator mobile app gives you easy, secure access to online accounts you can use for an extra layer of security. One example of an authenticator app is Microsoft Authenticator.
Follow the steps below to set up the authenticator app for Two-Step Verification:
- Install an authenticator app such as Microsoft Authenticator.
- Open your authenticator app and tap “Add Account” or click the “+” icon in the top right corner. If this is your first time setting up an account on the app, you might be prompted straight away to set up an account.
- Select “Other” and scan the QR code on the QuoteMonster Webpage.
- Enter the 6-digit verification code generated by your authenticator app to verify your device.
Now your device is ready for two-step authentication. Whenever you log in from a new device, open your Authenticator app and enter the code when prompted for two-step verification.
Important: The authenticator app connection is unique to each mobile device and each app install. If you uninstall the app, reset your mobile phone, or get a new mobile phone, you will need to set up the authenticator app again (see troubleshooting).
