Here is a step-by-step guide:

How to link Authenticator App to your KeepSolid ID

Choosing this type of 2FA, you also have to download an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator) on your mobile device. 

1. Turn on the Authenticator App option.

2. Now you need to verify your KeepSolid ID with the 8-digit code sent to your email. For this, copy the sent code from your email, paste it to the Verify Your Account field, and click Verify.

3. After that, you’ll see the QR code.

4. Now, install an Authenticator App on your device, run this app, and scan the QR code from your KeepSolid User Office by tapping the Scan barcode button (Google Authenticator was used as an example).

5. You’ll see a generated six-digit authentication code.

6. Click Next on the QR code screen, enter the authentication code you see in your Authenticator app and click Confirm.

7. Make sure to save your back-up codes that you get in the new window. To do that, press Download. 

8. In case you used all your back-up codes or lost them, simply click the Regenerate button.

Great! You’ve finished linking the Authenticator App to your KeepSolid ID. From now on, you have to enter a six-digit authentication code from your Authenticator App when signing in to your account on a new device.
