Lovely!
Thanks!
Wow very helpful sir gonna inform my dad since last week his fb acct was hacked... thanks for sharing this video..
no problem
Hi, thanks for this video. It's so useful. Pls, do you need to download authenticator app for every app you want 2fA? Thanks
Hi. You don't need to download the GA for every app LOL. You can add multiple accounts inside the app by pressing that plus icon
Thank you very helpful ll
Always welcome
Thank you so much for your effort, but could you try it with an iPhone or tell us which app the apps look similar
Thanks for the cleat tutorial by showing your phone.
no problem!
Thank you for the information. What happens if I lose the secret key for an account?
If i forget to save the secret key after the set up process, how can I get it later on? Is that possible? Thank you, great video!
It depends. Some websites might send it by email and others, give you those backup codes which you can use to recover access to your account. But most of the times, you wont find it anywhere, unless you saved it in that very moment.
Thanks for watching!
@@PaulTechLink u like men btw
@@Ronniexfu1y you what?!
Bro.... that's really really helpful 💜✨... there's a question please when we entered a six digit code for first time....it is changed after few secs ..and if we want to login again which six digit code we'll use?...the first one which we entered or the new one which is appearing in Google authenticator?
the codes are times based so it makes it difficult for someone to break intro your account. To answer your question, you always need to use the current code within that time frame
Thanks
No problem! ❤
Hello there @techLink i have question is there a way to i save all accounts in like 1 file or something ? bcus i have like 10+ websites where i use codes and i would like to save them all safely when i get new device or loose mine to i am safe. is there a way to do it ? bcus i have many 2fs ? Thank you very much love how you helping ppl! Respect!
Hi. On some websites you can find that secret key or qr code within the account security settings but some don’t have that option. In fact when you activate the 2FA they prompt you to save that key somewhere safe or they offer you backup codes as it might be the only way to get your account back in case you lose your phone. Also other websites which store personal data, where you do KYC like on exchanges, can reset your 2FA if you contact their support team. Or on other websites you can insert alternative emails and phone number so in case you lose your 2FA, they can send codes in there so you can regain access to your account. It depends from on site to another… if you have another mobile device, you can transfer your 2FA codes in there so you have them in 2 places in case you lose your phone, at least that’s what I do. I made a video about this and you can find it in my Google Authenticator playlist.. hope that helps
I like your video
Great!
Good video
cheers friendo!
Thank you very much and I like your accent :) where are you from?
Thanks! I'm from Romania.
thank you for this video. I only want to use this for one website account. If I set it up for that website with google authenticator, I won't need to use this authenticator for any other of my accounts right? In other words, google authenticator will not interfere when I'm trying to access another account besides the one I set up with google authenticator. yes? I really don't want it to.
Yep, that’s correct! And as a reminder… make sure to save that secret key or QR code!
@@PaulTechLink thanks so much!

I need help on how to get a key for activision🙏🏾……I forgot my pw and now I can’t login to my activision account but it’s asking for authentication code
contact their support team and ask them to reset the 2FA on you account
can we print the app qr code and keep the paper as back up for google authenticator ? or does the app qr code change by time ?
yeah that should work.. you can scanning the code on a different device and see if it works
In that video I didn't actually see you get a secret code, only the recovery code. Should I see that secret code at some point or not. Your video explains very clearly how the 2FA must be activated for every App or Account individually which I didn't know. However I have not fully understood about the appearance of the secret code. Can you help?🙂
like I said in the video, most of the times you activate 2FA, they will give you either a secret key which looks like a long sequence of letters and numbers or a QR codes. However it was not the case for Instagram.. If you don't see this key or QR code during the setup process, then you wont find it anywhere. To keep yourself protected, you need to find those backup codes I talk about at the end of the video
well..my galaxy 12 isnt anything like you show doesnt have a MORE drop down that shows options only language options. 😃... any ideas? thanks

Good day brother can it still be available for sending funds to my friends abroad?

what do you mean?
so my question is each time i want to log in to something it wants the code. can you set it its only required monthly

How would I do this with my Capcom ID?
not sure.. the procedure should be very similar.. you should have some option with your accounts security settings
Hey! why would you do this and why would a scammer want you to do this to gain access to your crypto wallet or similar?
You need to do this to prevent those scammers from accessing your accounts. If you have 2FA activated, they won't be able to login to your accounts even if they have your credentials
Hes really good at it

Please could you assist. I have activated my 2fa for my trading platform. Each time it asks for the 2fa verification code as it's supposed to. But every time I type the code generated in my authenticator app , it won't accept it. Thanks.
I don't do social media,so what other app can I use to set up authenticator
Microsoft authenticator, Authy and many more
Sir, thanks for your video. - I have my Twitter account locked, and they ask me to get a code on my cell phone. The number I registered with them is of an OLD cellphone number. - Since I have a NEW cellphone number, I can NOT receive the code. Can I use the authenticator, or should I change to the new phone number.? But I do NOT how to do it. - Would you help me with this.? I will appreciate your advice. Thanks again. - Marco.
I believe I already answered your enquiry.. did you sort it out?
can you set the code to only be needed once a month not daily

How do you get them back in you forget what they where?
I have a question what happen if I remove my existing SIM Card and replace a new SIM Card to my Iphone, do I need to configure the Google Authenticator? thanks
Your SIM hasn't got anything to do with your Google Authenticator app. It doesn't store this kind of data. It would be a problem if you change the Apple ID.. But you can keep on using your iPhone even if you remove the SIM

👍
What if i cant get into my account/ profile for the app i was the authenticator? What do i do? Please help
You need to contact the Support team on each individual website and ask them to reset your 2FA
I have multiple Instagram accounts associated with the same Gmail account and mobile no., So if i allow two factor authentication in one of those Instagram account will it work for the others ?
Please help I'm kinda desperate here
Not sure.. but you can try enabling it for one account and see if you get prompted to insert a 2FA code once you switch to another. If this happens, than it should be enabled for all of them.. if not, it means you only use 2FA for that specific account
what if i lose recovery backups code of google authenticator how to recover ?
there are no recovery codes for google authenticator but for individual accounts
Please I mistakenly save my authentication code to my email please how can I find the authentication code in my email

Link for google authenticator
I'm totally lost. Do we have to enable the 2Factor on our Google Account? I installed the Google Authenticator app... opened it and it says 'Set up your first account', then it gives us two options. Scan a QR code or Enter a setup key. I tapped Scan a QR code and held it up to a QR code, but nothing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.
What QR code did you scanned precisely? 😀
@@PaulTechLink It was within the green frame. When I installed the GA app, did I have to do anything other than sign into my Apple account? Do I have to do anything with Google? I want this for my banking. I'm just not getting this. Thank you
You don't need any of your Apple or Google account. When you set up 2FA for your bank account, they should provide you with a secret key or a QR code, and that's what you need to insert in the GA app. So if its a QR code you need to scan it or if you get a secret key, you need to insert it manually. Once you do that, the GA app, will start generating 2FA codes based on that key. And those are the codes you need in order to access your bank account.
When you activate 2FA on any account MAKE SURE to save that secret key or QR code somewhere safe. ITS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! ! !
@@PaulTechLink First, thank you very much for being kind enough to respond. I'm so grateful for your help. I had to sign in to my Apple account when I installed the app. Is that not right? I need it for banking and crypto. Just learning this stuff and I'm not tech-savvy at all.
If you are trying to do this from an iPhone, you are probably already logged in with your Apple account. So yeah, it probably asked you to insert your password again to confirm the download of the app. But, that's normal, it asks you to do this every time you download an app. I personally have the face ID active so don't need to do that every time..
how about enable 2FA no code no anything.?thanks
what do you mean?
I did follow the procedure but it keeps appearing invalid google 2FA code
who? when? where?
Does this also help for Roblox?
yes, that should be very similar
Not understanding they must be on Facebook Instagram Twitter can you put it somewhere else.😊
what do you mean?
make a vid on:
1. why set google authenticator?
2. why reset google authenticator?
thanks! the first one could be interesting.. the second one doesn't make sense

@@thomasdonner2495 yeah but that's pretty much common practice for every website that deals with money, like exchanges, online casinos, betting websites. It's to prevent money loundering and scams. Otherwise what would prevent someone from using stolen cards?

you should have some option that says " need other ways to authenticate" or something like that. Follow the steps in there and you should get at some point where they ask you to submit some kind of ID to prove your identity. That is the only way to get it back
Hostul unde am site ul personal găzduit a solicitat să îmi activez autorizarea în doi pași a accesului la pagina de Control Panel a aplicatiei Wordpress. Cum se poate face aceasta folosind aplicația de la Google. Este posibil să am direct pe Google fără să mai instalez aplicația pe telefon? Vreau sa am aceasta autorizare doar pe pagina mentionata si nu pe toate aplicatiile sau documente din calculator sau net. Mulțumesc.
Atunci cand activezi 2FA, aceasta se activeaza doar pentru contul respectiv si nu pentru alte aplicatii.. Google Authenticator, aplicatia celor de la Google, este disponibila doar pe mobil. Daca vrei sa aprobi autorizarea de pe PC, atunci sunt niste extensii pentru Google Chrome care pot sa o faca sau si mai bine, poti incerca Authy, o aplicatie care este disponibila si pe PC si pe mobil.
