Google Authenticator Setup:
It is a one-time setup.
- For first time log in, setup screen giving instructions for 2-factor authentication appears. It usually involves the code generated in your mobile phone by "Google Authenticator" app which can be downloaded from Playstore.
- Install the app from Playstore from your Android phone.
- After installation, when you open the app, Tap on "Begin" to add GovReports.
- Tap on "Scan Barcode" on your mobile.
- Scan the barcode that appears in your GovReports account so that the barcode fits in the box that appears on your mobile screen. When the barcode is scanned, 6 digit OTP code is generated which can be used to log in to the account.
- The installation of "Google Authenticator" is one-time setup. Next time when you login and select "Google Authenticator" for the confirmation code, the 6-digit OTP can be delivered to the app in your mobile.
