To verify your two-factor authentication (2FA) using Google Authenticator, follow these steps:
Open Google Authenticator: Launch the Google Authenticator app on your mobile device.
Retrieve the Verification Code: In the app, you will see a list of accounts for which you have set up two-factor authentication. Find the account you want to verify.
Generate a Verification Code: Tap on the account entry to generate a new verification code. The app will display a six-digit code that changes every 30 seconds.
Enter the Verification Code: Switch to the application or website where you're trying to log in. When prompted for the verification code, enter the six-digit code displayed in the Google Authenticator app.
Complete the Verification: After entering the code, proceed with the login process. If the code is correct, you should be granted access to your account.
It's essential to note that the verification code generated by Google Authenticator changes every 30 seconds, so make sure to enter it promptly after generating it in the app. Additionally, ensure that the time on your mobile device is synchronized correctly for the codes to work accurately. If you have any issues with Google Authenticator, you may need to troubleshoot your device's time settings or consider alternative 2FA methods.
