  3. Open 2FAS, Google Authenticator, or Microsoft Authenticator on your phone.

  4. Tap Add Account or the + button.

  5. Choose Scan a QR code and point your phone’s camera at the screen.

  6. The account will save automatically under your site’s domain name.

Connecting Manually (If Your Camera Doesn’t Work)

  1. On the 2FA setup screen, click Can’t scan the code? or locate the text-based setup key.

  2. In your authenticator app, tap Add Account > Enter a setup key / Enter code manually.

  3. Enter your account name (e.g., your store website) and paste or type the secret alphanumeric key.

  4. Ensure the key type is set to Time-based.

  5. Save the account, then enter the generated 6-digit code on your website to finalize the connection.
