Add an account to Authenticator

Use this when a site shows you a key to type in.

1. On the site, turn on two-step verification and find the key.
2. Open Authenticator > Add. If you have no accounts yet, you can tap Enter a key instead.
3. Enter the name of the site in Site, and your user name or email address in Name.
4. Enter the site's key in Key. Spaces and lowercase letters are fine.
5. Tap Save.
6. Enter the code from Authenticator on the site to finish.

If the site gives you a link starting with otpauth://, paste the whole link into Key. Authenticator fills in the rest.

Most sites don't need anything else. If a site tells you to use other settings, turn on More settings and set Codes, Algorithm, Digits, and Seconds per code (or Counter) as the site says.

If the site shows a QR code, you can scan it instead (learn how).
