Adding SharonView to an authenticator app is a simple process. It helps secure your account with two-factor authentication (2FA). This guide will walk you through the steps.
What is an Authenticator App?
An authenticator app generates secure codes for logging in. These codes add an extra layer of security. Popular apps include Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, and Authy.
Why Add SharonView to an Authenticator App?
Adding SharonView to an authenticator app ensures your account is safe. Even if someone knows your password, they can’t access your account without the code. This is called two-factor authentication.
Steps to Add SharonView to Authenticator App
Step 1: Download an Authenticator App
First, download an authenticator app on your phone. You can use Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, or any other trusted app. These apps are free and available on iOS and Android.
Step 2: Log in to Your SharonView Account
Open the SharonView website or app. Log in using your username and password. Go to the security settings. Look for the option to enable two-factor authentication.
Step 3: Enable Two-Factor Authentication
In the security settings, find the 2FA option. Click on it to enable two-factor authentication. SharonView will ask you to choose a method. Select “Authenticator App” as your preferred method.
Step 4: Scan the QR Code
SharonView will show a QR code on the screen. Open your authenticator app. Tap the “+” or “Add Account” button. Choose “Scan a QR Code.” Point your phone’s camera at the QR code on the SharonView screen.
Step 5: Save the Backup Code
After scanning the QR code, SharonView will provide a backup code. Write this code down and keep it safe. If you lose your phone, this code will help you recover your account.
Step 6: Verify the Setup
Your authenticator app will now show a 6-digit code for SharonView. Enter this code on the SharonView website to verify the setup. Once verified, two-factor authentication is active.
Step 7: Log in with the Authenticator App
Next time you log in to SharonView, enter your username and password. Then, open your authenticator app. Enter the 6-digit code shown for SharonView. This completes the login process.
