Google Authenticator:

Users must install the Google Authenticator Application on their phone prior to using this feature.

  • Once the user is logged in, they can navigate to their Avatar (icon in the top right that looks like the outline of a person), and they can click the third tab to click and enable Google Authenticator. 
  • A QR code will appear, and they can scan the code with the Camera on their Authenticator App open on their phone. 
  • A six-digit code that expires every 90 seconds will display in the app. Each time users log in, they will need to type in the code displayed in the app.
