Setting Up Two-Step Verification with Google Authenticator

Overview

Google Authenticator is a two-step authentication app that provides an additional security layer on top of your username-password combination. With two-step verification enabled, a code generated by the Google Authenticator app must be entered while signing in, in addition to your account username and password. This ensures that only someone with both your credentials and the installed app can access your account.

How to Set Up Google Authenticator

First, download the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device. Once installed, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your 10Corp account.
2. Click on the User icon located at the top right, open the drop-down menu, and click Settings.
3. Click Two-Step Verification located in the left column under Security.
4. On the Two-Step Verification page, click the Setup Authenticator App button, enter a name for your device, and click Add Credential.
5. A QR code will be displayed on the screen.
6. Open the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device and tap the settings option (usually a + icon).
7. Select Scan a QR Code and scan the QR code displayed in your account. If you are having problems with the QR code, please see Troubleshooting QR Code Problems for Two-Step Verification.
8. After scanning, the app will return to the main screen with your account added to the list of codes.
9. Locate the 6-digit verification code in your app and enter it in the verification field, then click Verify Code.
10. A notification will display confirming the authenticator has been activated.
