Overview
Authy is a great alternative to Google Authenticator that does not require a separate mobile device. It is a desktop program that works across all computer operating systems and generates codes for two-step verification. You can start by downloading Authy, then click on the icon for your operating system. Once Authy is up and running, you can configure it in your 10Corp account.
How to Set Up Two-Step Verification through Authy
- Log in to your 10Corp account.
- Click on the User icon located at the top right, open the drop-down menu, and click Settings, then select Security Settings.
- Click on Two-Step Verification in the Security section.
- On the Two-Step Verification page, enter a name for your device and click Add Credential.
- A QR code will be displayed. Underneath it, click Problems with QR Code?
- A secret key will be revealed on your screen. Highlight and copy this key.
- Open Authy. When you first open Authy, you will be asked to set up an account. Click the + button to do so.
- On the External Accounts tab, paste the code from your account and click Add Account.
- Select a logo in the menu. Type in the name of your device exactly as it appears in your account (it is case-sensitive). Click Done.
- Your account is now added in Authy. Back in your 10Corp account, type the 6-digit code from Authy into the Verification Code field and click Verify.
The next time you log into your account, you will be asked for a 6-digit code from Authy.
Tips
- If you use multiple devices, Authy supports syncing across devices so you can access your codes from any of them.
- We recommend also generating backup codes as an additional fail-safe.
