#### **3. Scan the QR Code and Confirm**
1. Open Google Authenticator on your phone.

5. Click **Sign In**.
6. When setup is done, click **Back To Home**.
| **Note:** If the code is wrong or has expired, you see **Entered token is not valid**. The code changes every few seconds. Type the code the app shows now and click **Sign In** again. |
