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.).
| 1 | To install Google Authenticator app, go to the Google Play Store on your phone. Find the Google Authenticator application and install it. Then open the app. |
|
| 2 | Tap "Begin setup". |
|
| 3 |
Then, tap "Scan a barcode". If you are missing a "Barcode Scanner", the app will prompt you to install a suggested app. Tap "Install" to the suggested "Barcode Scanner" app. After installation has completed, click "Scan a barcode" once more on Google Authenticator. |
|

 |
| 5 | Select the method by which you can receive an authorization code. This authorization code ensures only someone with your phone or access to your personal email address can issue a new token. Select either: Email: <personal email address on record> SMS (text message): <personal phone number on record> Click the "Start" button to receive a text or email with the authorization code. |
|
| 6 | Type the authorization code into the "Enter Authorization Code" field and give the registered device a meaningful nickname in the "Token Name" field. Click "Add Token." Note, there is a time limit that you must complete this step by. If time has expired, "Cancel" and retrieve a re-issued token. |
|
| 7 | You will see a QR code code on the screen that you must scan with Google Authenticator on your device/phone. You only have ONE CHANCE to scan this code. Do not close this window until you have successfully scanned the code. | |
| 8 | If the QR Code scan is successful, you will see the 6-digit OTP (One-Time-Password) on your device. This code is valid for 30-seconds only. You must enter the token when you log in with your username and password. If you happen to take longer than 30 seconds, then use the most current auto-generated OTP. |
