Mobile Authenticator Setup

Purpose:

This feature enhances account security by requiring users who log in to set up a mobile authenticator (TOTP-based 2FA). This ensures strong protection against unauthorized access.


🚀 When It's Triggered

This screen is triggered immediately after a user logs in, if they haven't yet completed mobile authenticator setup.


📝 Step-by-Step Guide

1️⃣ Step 1: Install an Authenticator App

Download and install one of the following apps on your mobile device:

  • FreeOTP

  • Google Authenticator

2️⃣ Step 2: Scan the QR Code

Open the authenticator app and use it to scan the barcode displayed on screen.

🔄 Can't scan the QR code? Click “Unable to scan?” to enter the code manually.

3️⃣ Step 3: Enter the One-Time Code

After scanning, your app will generate a 6-digit code. Enter it into the One-time code field.

4️⃣ Step 4: Name Your Device

Provide a Device Name (e.g., "iPhone 13", "Work phone") to help you manage multiple OTP devices later.

5️⃣ Step 5: Submit
