Warning

If you use Google Authenticator on your personal or Lab issued mobile device, Lab policy requires that the device must be configured to use a lock screen (PIN, pattern, fingerprint, etc.).

Note

These instructions must be followed on a computer, so that the mobile device can be used to scan a barcode off of the computer's monitor.
