What do you do if the 6 digit code doesn't work. I put my PW into my Firefox account on my PC, and then it wants the authentication code, which I type in from the Google app on my phone, and it says the code is incorrect.
2fa has never worked for me. It has always locked me out of my accounts. I am very leary of it. My problem with your video is that you could be more detailed. What I need to see is you setting up a new account while you use your phone with an authenticator app. You will need to have someone to video each step showing exactly what to do. This is how you could make the video better and I would appreciate you doing this because I'm going to be forced into this. You should also show how to use back up codes incase you get locked out. I did like the speed that you did this in. thanks
Could you possible do a video (and make a to do list) on what to do( in plain English) when your phone is lost or broken ? There are a lot of conflicting answers and techniques from people where (to put it mildly) English is not there mother tongue or are not able to write without jargon ? You were the first I could understand...:) Many thanks in advance !
I'll tell you what the Indians are incredible at solving phone problems but you can't understand their accents but I can understand you loud and clear brother
I'ii look into those links. Lost my phone 2 years ago with the codes for a bunch of Crypto exchanges and no backup . Very problematic. I got to research backing up Authenticator. Essential !
Hello , this may see to be a stupid question, but why is it that when I'm prompted to scan the QR code my iPhone acts stupid, worst off all, I haven't found on RUclips a single tutorial how does that scanning concept function, could you please explain in detail how to use it. By the way, would like to thank you for some of the best up-front tutorials. Keep up the great work, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you>
Great video. Thank you. I have a quick question. What if you get set up and your phone is stolen. What should you do? Can you cancel all the authenticator accounts?
Yes, you can, but you’ll need to make sure you either have the backup codes or have set up a second device in order to access the security settings of the accounts. Keep in mind that this is a second factor of authentication - the thief would still need to have guessed your password before the 2FA codes are of any use.
Agreed because I have lost my code by deleting the wrong one and can’t seem to find out how to access my account because there is no longer a code to put in to access the account that has the Authenticator.
Some sites only offer SMS 2FA. In that circumstance which is generally more secure - using SMS with the reliability and fake SIM card hack issues I heard about the other day, or not using 2FA at all, and relying on good old fashion hard passwords and other security-minded practices? Also, if there's a backup method, this must surely be a case of a chain only being as strong as the weakest link and however secure the authenticator app method is, if there's an alternative way in then that's the one a hacker would surely use.
Good points here. This "SMS only" option is quickly going away, so I don't know many logins that only offers this anymore. In that case, I probably wouldn't use SMS 2FA, but that's mostly because I find it cumbersome and annoying. I'm sure it can be argued that any form of 2FA, even SMS 2FA, is better than no 2FA, though. As for the backup method, you are correct. For this reason, I don't recommend you store your backup codes digitally. Instead, I write them down and keep them in my personal safe at home.
@@AllThingsSecured Thanks for replying! Having started to use an authenticator app some time ago I've found recently that not all sites provide backup codes, and too many are still not offering it at all, or offer it in addition to SMS but still keep that as a forced backup option (that was what led to my weakest link note).
@@AllThingsSecured Where can I find the key? I wrote it down but want to double check in any case something happens. Also, let's say my phone or tablet were to be lost.. And I add my Google Authenticator on a new device, will it automatically bring back all the other 2FA programs that were being used?
@@yannickvanderputten1321 the first time you scan the QR code, it gives you the key to store it somewhere safe, and when you lost your phone you install the app on the new phone and add those keys you stored the first time. so it's an obligation to backup those keys the first time.
@@AllThingsSecured question. Shouldnt i have this authentication app on a separate device tho? Lets say someone hacks into my phone (hypothetically) wouldnt they simply just open my authenticator app and have everything they need?. If i have the app on a separate phone wouldnt it make it impossible for them to log into my accounts
I have set this up for INE of my accounts and I see the code number changing again and again but when I put the current number into the thing I want access to it does not allow me in. Just says the number is wrong! Any ideas? Great vid by the way.
There's a seriously important step missing from this video that is highlighted by some of the comments here and elsewhere. When you set up 2FA for a login using an authenticator app like this they should ALWAYS provide several emergency single-use backup codes that you can use in the event that you no longer have access to the app and, more importantly, the data. That can (best assume at some point WILL) happen if you lose or break your phone or other things. Using one of the codes will let you get back in and reset everything. But be sure not to run out of those codes - you can only use each one once. It should go without saying that you should keep copies of the emergency codes somewhere secure and TOTALLY different to your phone. A sheet of paper with them written down and stored between the pages of a book on a friend's bookshelf ought to be pretty secure and even survive a house fire (not if it's your friend's house, of course - so keep another secure copy somewhere else!)
Absolutely correct and I'm sorry I didn't highlight this more in the video. Another (better?) option is to setup both an authenticator app 2FA and a 2FA security key simultaneously. I prefer this over the security codes if possible.
I lost my account, just now, Bro, I’m so sad. I spent so much time and money on my Discord Account. All my friends.. I emailed Discord but they said I can’t do anything but make a new account.
What happens if you don't have the backup codes and your old phone was broken? Are you assed out on accessing your crypto wallets that require the authenicator?
I didn't save it in the browser. I'm just telling Facebook that this browser is a trusted browser. There's some risk in this, of course, but I prefer the convenience of not having to input a code every time I log in and I almost always have my laptop with me.

Thank you for this video. I had the Authenticator app on my Note 9 but recently switched over to iPhone. It was asking me to authenticate a few apps even though I no longer had the phone. YOU MADE THE FIX EASY. THANK YOU!
Yes, but it requires that you set both apps up at the same time. Or, if you use Google Authenticator, you can export the account code you want to share as a QR code. Hope that helps!
What about people who don't have a second device? This shows scanning a QR code from a second screen. Does creating account require 2 devices? How do you even request the QR code? None of this is automatic on my phone.
@@AllThingsSecured I try this but i always get invalid code on my iPhone after input the 16 digit code from my account (maybe you are unable to help with this as it is a separate account) It is very confusing because I include my email in Account and in Key I enter the 16 digits and nothing happens when I select done?? Can you please help me
Microsoft Authenticator is much better.. Google's does not have a restore option...so if you lose your phone or get a new one, even if you restore your app, the data will be lost.. I learned this the hard way... I will never use Google Auth again.
A common question here has to do with setting this up on one device (i.e. how do you scan a QR code on your phone, from your phone?). If this is your question, watch this: ruclips.net/video/47SzzwIAzNc/видео.html ✅ My Recommended 2FA Security Key: geni.us/yubikey-nf
Nice video thanks. I actually recommend Authy or FreeOTP rather than Google cdmcdermott.com/multi-factor-authentication-2fa-and-biometrics/ - Have you tried a YubiKey with a Password Manager like Bitwarden?
Thanks, Christopher. Is there a particular reason you went with Authy or FreeOTP instead of Google Authenticator? And yes, I'm working with a YubiKey now and testing it on multiple platforms. Bitwarden is a good one.
@@AllThingsSecured FreeOTP is open source (which is always better). I recommend Authy to anyone who doesn't have time or technical skills to configure FreeOTP. The main reason for not going with Google Authenticator is to improve privacy through compartmentalization. You want to reduce data linkability as much as possible. If you use all google products (as most people do) it is really easy to link all our data points and build a profile of you. If you swap some products for non-google products and compartmentalize all your digital interactions this significantly improves your privacy. You can check out my digital balance philosophy cdmcdermott.com/philosophy/ which explains three strategies (compartmentalize, protect and refine) you can use to find the right balance in your digital interactions. All the best
Didn’t you do a video saying not to use Google Authenticator? … I just checked and I was right. You said it’s not secure. Why has this “ how to “ video not been taken down?
Sorry, I just noticed that my comment sounded a little demanding. I probably should have said, possibly you could consider whether this “how to” video should be taken down. I’m trying to learn about personal Internet security and it throws me off when a respected source displays conflicting information.
What if I cant log into something with 2fa to begin with. I'm trying to get into epic games and i know my password and stuff but then it asks for a code using an authenticator app but I dont know what to do
Similar to RSA token, I used the RSA token to log in into a server to work online. My RSA token had a password that changes every 30 second or 60, I dont remember any more. To add extra security, the RSA token should work with another password. To log in you enter your 4 numbers password, wait for the RSA change, then enter as apear on the token. This kind of security has been used for a while.
Hello. I deleted my old phone from Binance and Coinbase as well as google 2fa. Didn’t realize I was supposed to scan the codes from the old to the new.

Mr. JOSH.... I Only have Access to my Cellphone.... NO tablet... NO desktop... will I be able to use the Google Authenticator app..... or is that Not Recommended??
Interesting question. It might be challenging to set up Google Authenticator without access to a desktop or tablet computer, but as far as using it, it's most definitely possible (and recommended). The other option, if you'd like, is to use a security key instead. But that costs money.
hello @All Things Secured When i type code from google authenticator app in the app i need, but not press enter and wait for 5 minutes, a lot of codes have changed in the meantime and when I click enter after that it still works and you say in the video that it doesn't work, so I don't understand how that's possible? help please?
I am getting a "not loggied into to google account try again" messaged when trying to install google authentictor even tho i am logged in... tried it on chrome browser any body help?
Please help. My fb account was being hacked and when i try to recover it, they ask me for this 2f authenticator code but the problem is I didn't set up my Google authenticator app before this happened. What should I do?
Great Content Man!! Cheers.. So what should I be doing to transfer all my codes to an another phone? (or) If I am going to reset the particular mobile? Is there any way to back up all the codes and restore it? Thanks in advance!!
Thanks! Yes, Google Authenticator allows you to export 10 codes at a time as a QR code. Otherwise, you need to transfer them one by one to another Authenticator or use your backup codes. Good luck!
This would have been better if you'd just stuck with Google. How do you make sure you don't get locked out? Google is forcing this on me. How do you get a code to scan BEFORE you turn on two-step authentication? What happens if you lose your phone or it breaks? You make it sound easy because you've only covered what happens when it works; you haven't covered any of the things that can go wrong. Also, like many youtube videos, it would be better without the music.
Thanks for the feedback, Andy. Perhaps I’ll do a follow up video describing what could go wrong. It’s important to keep the backup codes in case your phone gets stolen. You could also set up this 2FA through something like 1Password that stores is all in the cloud, so even if you lose your device, you still have access to these codes.

my google authenticathor is empty, and my facebook isn´t working, I need the codes but I don´t have the QR code and the key, can someone tell me what can i do? (español es mejor para mi)
Can you explain why you scan the qr code with the google 2 step auntenticator ,and a timer , and code continues to change, AND THAT IS ALL IT DOES!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?
My Google authenticator and site I want to login to are both on my phone. I log into my page. And it asks me for my new auth code. So I go get it. I then flick back to my page but the browser page has refreshed and requires me to input my username and password again. By the time I've done this. My code is expired!!! Help. The browser page I am using doesn't have a corresponding app. Using android.
Yea, that sucks. Perhaps you can find a setting with your browser that doesn't refresh the page every time. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying to use a 2FA key instead of the authenticator app (or use a separate tablet or phone for the authenticator app).
Hi, I got a question how does one add back an account into the aunthenticator app in case you logged off the app you want to add. Example; you did set up your Facebook under the authenticator then you loose your phone which has your aunthenticator and your Facebook is logged off, how do you add it back so that you can get back the codes to login
You either have to try to verify your account using another device that is still logged into Facebook, or you have to go through a lengthy process of account recovery. That’s why it’s so important to keep backups of your 2FA.

No, there isn't. That's why I recommend using a 2FA app other than Google Authenticator (such as Authy or 1Password).
@@AllThingsSecured Do you gave a video on that? About stolen/Lost Phone ir other 2FA app?
Google is a dinosaur! They need this dude to explain something that should be apple-simple.
Thank you for this video. I had the Authenticator app on my Note 9 but recently switched over to iPhone. It was asking me to authenticate a few apps even though I no longer had the phone. YOU MADE THE FIX EASY. THANK YOU!
Glad to know I was able to help!
Is there a way for two people to share the same 2FA app? ie. Husband and Wife both getting the 2FA number via text. thanks
Yes, but it requires that you set both apps up at the same time.
Or, if you use Google Authenticator, you can export the account code you want to share as a QR code. Hope that helps!
Hey thank you very much the process was a breeze! 🙏
Glad it helped, Anthony!
I reinstalled and my code is not working how do I updated my authenticator app by verify my identity? Thank you 🤔🤔🤔
Did you keep your backup codes? You might need them.
Thanks for the clear info - I am seeing 8 digit codes generated on a gmail and yahoo e-mail account - how do I adjust to 6 digits? Thank you
This might be something different, perhaps. All 2FA one-time passcodes are 6 digits right now.
What about people who don't have a second device? This shows scanning a QR code from a second screen. Does creating account require 2 devices? How do you even request the QR code? None of this is automatic on my phone.
It’s possible to copy/paste a code instead of scanning a QR code.
You only showed one of the 2 ways to set it up. I need the “manual” part
The manual part is just taking the manual code they give you and copy/paste it into the app.
@@AllThingsSecured I try this but i always get invalid code on my iPhone after input the 16 digit code from my account (maybe you are unable to help with this as it is a separate account) It is very confusing because I include my email in Account and in Key I enter the 16 digits and nothing happens when I select done??
Can you please help me
@@AllThingsSecured I'm having issues.
Microsoft Authenticator is much better.. Google's does not have a restore option...so if you lose your phone or get a new one, even if you restore your app, the data will be lost.. I learned this the hard way... I will never use Google Auth again.
That's a good point. I'm going to be making a video about good alternatives to Google Authenticator soon.
A common question here has to do with setting this up on one device (i.e. how do you scan a QR code on your phone, from your phone?). If this is your question, watch this: ruclips.net/video/47SzzwIAzNc/видео.html
✅ My Recommended 2FA Security Key: geni.us/yubikey-nf
Nice video thanks. I actually recommend Authy or FreeOTP rather than Google cdmcdermott.com/multi-factor-authentication-2fa-and-biometrics/ - Have you tried a YubiKey with a Password Manager like Bitwarden?
Thanks, Christopher. Is there a particular reason you went with Authy or FreeOTP instead of Google Authenticator?
And yes, I'm working with a YubiKey now and testing it on multiple platforms. Bitwarden is a good one.
@@AllThingsSecured FreeOTP is open source (which is always better). I recommend Authy to anyone who doesn't have time or technical skills to configure FreeOTP. The main reason for not going with Google Authenticator is to improve privacy through compartmentalization. You want to reduce data linkability as much as possible. If you use all google products (as most people do) it is really easy to link all our data points and build a profile of you. If you swap some products for non-google products and compartmentalize all your digital interactions this significantly improves your privacy. You can check out my digital balance philosophy cdmcdermott.com/philosophy/ which explains three strategies (compartmentalize, protect and refine) you can use to find the right balance in your digital interactions. All the best
Thank you for your help. Greatly appreciate it.
how can i open my facebook..i did not recieve the text from my number or email just two factor authentication but i did not get the code😓
Didn’t you do a video saying not to use Google Authenticator? … I just checked and I was right. You said it’s not secure. Why has this “ how to “ video not been taken down?
Sorry, I just noticed that my comment sounded a little demanding. I probably should have said, possibly you could consider whether this “how to” video should be taken down. I’m trying to learn about personal Internet security and it throws me off when a respected source displays conflicting information.
great, to the point!
What if I cant log into something with 2fa to begin with. I'm trying to get into epic games and i know my password and stuff but then it asks for a code using an authenticator app but I dont know what to do
it's ok just contact the above account ☝️☝️☝️for help recovering this Make sure you contact him he does this better
Is it really necessary to have that annoying background music while you are speaking? It would be much easier to hear you if it was not there.
Thanks for the feedback.
Just what I needed thanks man 👍
Glad I could help
Similar to RSA token, I used the RSA token to log in into a server to work online. My RSA token had a password that changes every 30 second or 60, I dont remember any more. To add extra security, the RSA token should work with another password. To log in you enter your 4 numbers password, wait for the RSA change, then enter as apear on the token. This kind of security has been used for a while.
Hello. I deleted my old phone from Binance and Coinbase as well as google 2fa. Didn’t realize I was supposed to scan the codes from the old to the new. Now the google codes for my Binance account that is in my old phone do not work. I am locked out. Can you steer me back into my currencies? Thank you. I am not sure if I can scan my old phone somehow or if I should email Binance. Honestly it’s been over a year that I have been in my account. My email is good and I get the log in code to my email...just the 2fa is no good. Thanks again, Chris.

I’m already using Google authenticator app with one of my crypto apps how do I add another crypto app to the authenticator?
It's the same process. Go into the crypto app and find your security and 2FA settings.
I gave you a thumbs down on this video because you didn't tell people they needed to backup that QR Code.
Thanks for the heads up, John.
Excellent Tutorial!
How to retrieve if one of your application code was accidentally deleted from your authenticator?
You can’t. That’s why it’s SUPER important to keep a backup.
Ok so I need another device lol I’ve been trying to do it from my iPad for so long now
I hope you’re able to get a new device soon!
I’ve been using google Authenticator just quick question I don’t always have access to a computer so I’ve saved my backup codes to my iCloud files is that safe.
It's better than nothing! As long as you have your backup codes behind a strong password and encryption, you're doing better than most people.
@@AllThingsSecured could i ask a question do you know if there’s any way you can change Apple ID 2FA to an app instead of phone number been trying but don’t think it’s possible.
hi I'm struggling with etsy its giving me a option to download a authentication app because I want to sell on their website and it don't allow/give me a option for my county code for me to get a sms with a authentication code so I downloaded the Google authentication app but when I want to go to the part where I have to scan etsy's barcode on the website it' doesn't want to open and show its barcode what am I doing wrong
Mr. JOSH.... I Only have Access to my Cellphone.... NO tablet... NO desktop... will I be able to use the Google Authenticator app..... or is that Not Recommended??
Interesting question. It might be challenging to set up Google Authenticator without access to a desktop or tablet computer, but as far as using it, it's most definitely possible (and recommended). The other option, if you'd like, is to use a security key instead. But that costs money.
Thanks!!😊
Thank you, does this mean I need 2 devices ? I need 2FA on a app on my phone, can't it not be done all on one device ?
It can be done with one device. Watch this tutorial: ruclips.net/video/47SzzwIAzNc/видео.html
Hello I cnkor download in my iPhone because I don’t have the update in the system there are any options for me to get it ? Could you guíe me please

The password of whatever login you're trying to access, probably.
@@AllThingsSecuredYeah I figured it out after 40 ,They really should pull dictionary how to do this for dummies lol
Great video. I was hoping you would also explain how to manually enter the code in google Authenticator.
Hey, Caron. I have recently uploaded a video for this, you can check it on my channel! Hope this helps. 🙏
Very clear and precise...
Thanks.
Useful video but the music was too loud. It would make it difficult for people whose first language isn't English.

hello @All Things Secured
When i type code from google authenticator app in the app i need, but not press enter and wait for 5 minutes, a lot of codes have changed in the meantime and when I click enter after that it still works and you say in the video that it doesn't work, so I don't understand how that's possible? help please?
I am getting a "not loggied into to google account try again" messaged when trying to install google authentictor even tho i am logged in... tried it on chrome browser any body help?

Having the same problem too 🤦🏽♀️ need help as well
Unfortunately, you’ll have to reach out to Facebook for help on this. And in the end, you might just need to start over on Facebook. So sorry.
I can't get into my fb account to set this up, but it ask me for the code to get into my account how do I do this
I NEED YOUR HELP IM TRYNA GET IN MY ROBLOX ACCOUNT PHONE AND COMPUTER BUT AUTHENICATOR IS IN MY WAY I NEED YOUR HELP
Great Content Man!! Cheers.. So what should I be doing to transfer all my codes to an another phone? (or) If I am going to reset the particular mobile? Is there any way to back up all the codes and restore it? Thanks in advance!!
Thanks! Yes, Google Authenticator allows you to export 10 codes at a time as a QR code. Otherwise, you need to transfer them one by one to another Authenticator or use your backup codes. Good luck!
useful, many thanks
This would have been better if you'd just stuck with Google. How do you make sure you don't get locked out? Google is forcing this on me. How do you get a code to scan BEFORE you turn on two-step authentication? What happens if you lose your phone or it breaks? You make it sound easy because you've only covered what happens when it works; you haven't covered any of the things that can go wrong. Also, like many youtube videos, it would be better without the music.
Thanks for the feedback, Andy. Perhaps I’ll do a follow up video describing what could go wrong. It’s important to keep the backup codes in case your phone gets stolen. You could also set up this 2FA through something like 1Password that stores is all in the cloud, so even if you lose your device, you still have access to these codes.
When I first open Google Authentication, I am asked for "user" and "Secret." I am a user but what is needed for those fields?
Cant access my Amazon account after reinstalling Authenticator on my phone. Authenticator will not give me any Codes ....any alternatives???
Backup codes?

I have used this app but a few time I can’t receive the code automatically if you have any solution plz tell me. Thank u
How does it not give you the code automatically? This is a bit confusing.
Same
Yes
Can u like rename the tabs where the codes are
Like instead of Facebook, u can rename it to for exmaple (
Johns Facebook account”or something like that) can you do that on the google authentication app or not?
There are parts that are editable, but the main name can’t be edited.
Hey dear, i disabled my sms verification from my snap account and after that I logged out😭. So now i want to log in again but i need a code so i can and i am not receiving any code.

@@AllThingsSecured can we talk insta?
No, you need to connect with Snap.

Hi how do I set up my 2-factor authentication code in free wallet app?
Can you make an updated version on how to get the code manually? I think the option i gone? Right? Just the code..
Can you set up Google Authenticator on your computer if you don't have a smartphone?
Hi, how do you fix a message that says, “ wrong google verification code” every time a code is put in from google Authenticator?
During setup or after 2FA has already been setup?
@@AllThingsSecured after set-up..Thank you
my google authenticathor is empty, and my facebook isn´t working, I need the codes but I don´t have the QR code and the key, can someone tell me what can i do? (español es mejor para mi)
Can you just use your google account instead of Facebook?
This seems very confusing. Going to try to use google.
So the code that’s generated is you 2FA code sorry it’s a dumb question but idk
Can you explain why you scan the qr code with the google 2 step auntenticator ,and a timer , and code continues to change, AND THAT IS ALL IT DOES!?!?!??!?!?!??!?!?
My Google authenticator and site I want to login to are both on my phone. I log into my page. And it asks me for my new auth code. So I go get it. I then flick back to my page but the browser page has refreshed and requires me to input my username and password again. By the time I've done this. My code is expired!!! Help. The browser page I am using doesn't have a corresponding app. Using android.
Yea, that sucks. Perhaps you can find a setting with your browser that doesn't refresh the page every time. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest trying to use a 2FA key instead of the authenticator app (or use a separate tablet or phone for the authenticator app).
Why doesn’t Google have its own two factor authentication?
Hi, I got a question how does one add back an account into the aunthenticator app in case you logged off the app you want to add. Example; you did set up your Facebook under the authenticator then you loose your phone which has your aunthenticator and your Facebook is logged off, how do you add it back so that you can get back the codes to login
You either have to try to verify your account using another device that is still logged into Facebook, or you have to go through a lengthy process of account recovery. That’s why it’s so important to keep backups of your 2FA.

great show
What do you do if you add the 2fa on app but never scan the the QR code lodge out now trying to lodge back in but can’t…smh hope I explain that right.. just trying to lodge back in to my Robinhood
im locked out of my account, therefore it wont let me find the code or qr code.
I need help, I didn’t use it for a while now it’s asking me to sign in again. I’m trying to but it needs an account and a key. What is that?,
The microsoft one is better coz u don't need qr codes
I’m testing out the Microsoft one now.

Me: Has trouble setting up authenticator as I dont have it working
Ubisoft: Just disable your 2-Step-Verification bro, we got you
Me: Thanks, clicks to disable 2SV
Ubisoft: Please Enter your verification code so you can disable your verification codes to log in
nice video - clear and understandable - just wondering though - does the authenticator app have to have connected online to get the codes? - (i dont have wifi , and when i turn on mobile data it uses up my credit)
No, the app does not require an internet connection at all for the codes. It's an offline algorithm.
I had my Facebook account hacked a few years ago. When I open it has a prompt for an authentication code. Do you have any information on how to get your account back?
